About
It’s not hallucinogenic and doesn’t always come with a worm - Mezcal: Tequila’s smoky, mysterious, cool uncle. Despite Mezcal’s growing popularity in the liquor and cocktail scene, much of the product never even makes it to US or Canada due to trade restrictions and small-batch quantities.
This is your opportunity to try something new and see why this artisanal drink is receiving so much attention. A total of four quality, small distillery mezcals will be sampled throughout this hour and a half tasting.
