Tried 15 different Mezcal brands — here is what I found

Over the past year I've tried 15 different expressions of Mezcal, ranging from entry-level to premium. My conclusion: the complexity on the palate is the most reliable indicator of quality across price points. Served neat, the differences are pronounced and educational.

The best value wasn't the most expensive. There's a sweet spot in the middle range where quality and price align well. Happy to share specifics if anyone asks.
