We Asked 10 Drinks Pros: Which Mezcal Gives You the Best Bang for the Buck?

While mezcal remains a smaller market overall compared to tequila, mezcal’s 19 percent increase in U.S. volume last year shows that it’s gaining a captive audience. As VinePair reported, mezcal is not just tequila’s smoky cousin, but a complex spirit with a range of categories and production methods worth exploring.

Since mezcal deserves a prime spot in your home bar, VinePair asked beverage professionals across the country to give us their expert opinions on the brands and bottles worth your taste buds and money.

Given that many bars and restaurants are currently closed due to coronavirus, at the time of reporting, we asked bartenders to provide links to Venmo accounts or GoFundMe campaigns to help support them, as well as the venues with which they are affiliated.

“Mezcal is such a varied category, despite its reputation for being a smoke bomb. Some are delicate and floral, others are brooding and intense, so it all depends on what style you prefer. For a nice compromise, I would recommend Montelobos. It strikes a nice balance between smoke, herbal, and savory notes.” — Scott Kollig, Beverage Manager, Rye Street Tavern, Baltimore

“A couple answers here, depending on what your definition of “bang” is. If you mean societal contribution, you want Yola Mezcal. This brand is the most socially active I am aware of, attuned to culture, activism, and awareness. I would also want to mention that Silencio has been in constant contact with bars and restaurants in L.A. to offer support during the last month. If you mean “bang” as in the biggest bottle of quality mezcal at a fair price, you want the big bottle of Peloton de la Muerte Mezcal Joven.” — Jeremy Allen, General Manager/Head Bartender, MiniBar, Los Angeles

“I can’t speak more highly about Del Maguey’s Vida label. I’m typically wary of anything that’s labeled as a “bang-for-your-buck” mezcal as the category as a whole is not something I think people should be looking for a deal on. The process of making mezcal is labor-intensive and it can take over a decade for an agave to fully mature to a point where it can be harvested and used to produce mezcal. Del Maguey has such an incredible relationships with their producers, and I think this product is not only great, but I feel like I can trust and know exactly how the people and ecosystem making this mezcal are treated.” — Ryan Lotz, Beverage Director, Traveler Street Hospitality, Boston

“Fidencio is fabulous. It’s made with 100 percent Espadin, which is a relative to the blue Weber agave. As a 100 percent Espadin mezcal, you get the expected notes of smoke and earth. The floral nose and citrus finish make this a fabulous addition to any home bar.” — Ellen Talbot, Lead Bartender, Fable Lounge, Nashville, Tenn.

“Casamigos Mezcal is one of the better mezcals to enjoy in a cocktail or just sipping it by itself neat. Over the years the mezcal market has grown in popularity along with quality. For those who enjoy or who are just starting out to enjoy mezcal, Casamigos Mezcal is a great place to start.” — Richard Romanowski, Food and Beverage Director, Pier House Restaurant, La Mer Beachfront Resort, Cape May, N.J.

“If you are looking for a consistent bottle-to-bottle mezcal that is one, delicious, two, very affordable, and three, is properly and respectfully produced, the answer is Don Amado Largo. The Arroqueno is very tasty as well, but the Largo is a fun one and for the price; it’s hard to find another 100 percent Karwinskii bottling that will beat it.” — Westin Galleymore, Spirits Director, Underbelly Hospitality, Houston

“Illegal Joven Mezcal is a very mild and easy mezcal to drink. It has a light smoky taste with hints of citrus and pepper. A very good mezcal for under $50.” — Charles Govan, Director of Food and Beverage, Council Oak Steak & Seafood, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Atlantic City, N.J.

“This is the one spirit that I don’t recommend “cheaping out” on. However, there are some nice options in the $50-$60 range, like Sombra, which is one of my personal go-tos. Mezcal Vago is also a really nice choice at that price point.” — Matt Catchpole, General Manager, Terra, Columbia, S.C.

“Banhez is a joven blend made by a co-op of producers. It’s complex enough to hold up in cocktails, but is cost effective and uses agave that are able to be grown in large scale.” — Josh Seaburg, Resident Bartender, Crudo Nudo, Norfolk, Va.

Feliz #CincoDeMayo! This year forget #Patron, forget #Corona, forget #JoseCuervo, forget #DonJulio, forget #DosEquis, forget #CaboWabo, forget #herradura, forget #1800 and go buy bottles of @santatierramezcal if you want to celebrate the right way: http://www.santatierra.com.mx/eng @drock1920 . . . #mezcal #santatierra #santatierramezcal #santatierrausa #oaxacagold #mexcalli #espadin #arroqueno #tobala #coyote #tequila #mezcaleros #cerveza #may5 #may5th (at Miami, Florida)

[whistlerchicago]

We got a trio of new mezcals for you to enjoy!

Espadin Especial:

For fifteen years our producer of Tobala (we never tell his name as he is such a treasure) had asked Del Maguey to bring in his mezcal made from Espadin, the genetic mother of the blue agave.

At the insistance of a group of very special friends – dedicated Connoisseurs, Educators and “Cantineros” – we made the first run just for them. That first release consisted of only 330 bottles that were given to Del Maguey family in New York, Boston and California. Amigos you know who you are… Thank you for encouraging us with your insistence.

Espadin Especial is deliciously floral with a slight note of vanilla, citrus and a tropical note of pineapple with a bit of a caramel or butterscotch. Especial finishes with a saline quality that leaves you salivating for more.

Arroqueno:

This Special Edition of 360 bottles made from giant semi-wild, maguey Arroqueño is dedicated to Thor Heyerdahl, Biologist, Explorer and Great Human Being. The magueys were roasted in a conical pit over hot rocks, buried with earth for three days, fermented with nothing but airborne microbes for thirty days, then twice -distilled very slowly in an ancient clay still with bamboo tubing the original, centuries-old Oaxacan, hand-crafted way.

Arroqueno has notes of luscious melon on the palate, like cantaloupe and a bit of baking chocolate in the background. It is very vegetal, reminiscent of fresh green beans, with savory medium to long finish.

San Luis Del Rio Azul:

During the agave scarcity in Jalisco 2000-2004 Jalisco truckers came down to purchase Espadin from our most powerful Palenquero, Paciano Cruz Nolasco, in order to sustain tequila production. They brought with them baby Maguey Azul to plant in case there was another shortage.

Seven years later this maguey Azul is very mature and has been earth-roasted, fermented with airborne microbes, twice distilled, unblended the original, centuries-old Oaxacan, hand-crafted way. In the original 900 bottle edition we had the rare opportunity to taste a crossing of the flavors of tequila Jalisco, and mezcal Oaxaca.

Azul has a distinctively creamy mouth feel with bright citrus notes and dried tropical fruit (banana chip).  A sweet green herbaceous, wet stone quality appears with a touch of white peppercorn and a medium long finish.

As Ron Cooper would say: Sip it, don’t shoot it!
