Ilegal Mezcal Reposado

Ilegal Mezcal Reposado

A reposado mezcal? They’re out there! On the basis of this bottle, I say there should be more. Not everyone agrees!
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Creyente Mezcal

Creyente Mezcal

Creyente is an extremely solid mezcal that should cater to those who like the lighter side of life. You'll know you're still drinking a mezcal, but not every bottle needs to smell and taste like a warehouse fire.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Alipus San Andres Mezcal

Alipus San Andres Mezcal

As of yet my favorite mezcal, flat-out. If you've thought of anything in the spirit category as a perpetual tire fire in liquid form, this might be the bottle to make you reconsider.

Fidencio Único / Sin Humo Mezcal

Fidencio Único / Sin Humo Mezcal

Is there such a thing as a "light" mezcal? Does such a product have any reason to exist? Yes, and yes. The Fidencio Único (now called Sin Humo) isn't an ass-kicker, but it also isn't a lame-also-ran. Overall Rating: ★★☆

El Silencio Espadín Mezcal

El Silencio Espadín Mezcal

Mezcal is pretty polarizing. If you've wanted to dip your toe into the water, the El Silencio black bottle is a good starting point, but it's certainly not for everyone.  Overall Rating: ★★☆
