Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar teamed up to produce "mezquila", tastes like someone added liquid smoke to tequila. Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston put out Dos Hombres Mezcal. It's true to tradition and pretty good -- just way over-priced.

There are too many small-town maestro mezcaleros, and too many rules for production in Mexico, for it to go off the rails the way bourbon has.


I thought I met my one and only soulmate when I married my wife... I was wrong. Now all I hear is "Oh, lord he found a new Mezcal" every time I walk through the door with a new bottle. She knows because I walk through the door saying "come on in, I want you to meet my wife".

Not that you really needed or wanted to know all of that. đŸ¤£
