Monte Alban Mezcal, 70cl

Product Information

Nice as an intro to Mezcal, the worm is always a talking point, but definitely low on the tree of quality mezcals.

It’s a novelty item at best, in a tacky bottle with etched Mexican symbols, a screw ca, and a worm floating in colored, turpentine-flavored alcohol. It is made and distilled in the Oaxaca region of Mexico using 100% agave plants using centuries old techniques and traditions but most famously, each bottle contains the Con Gusano larvae… It has an aroma of spicy, oaky, green leafy notes. On the bright side, I enjoyed it enough that I'll definitely be trying more mezcal, probably looking at the "Illegal reposado" mezcal next as a step up. It shows very little burn and has a dry persistent finish offering great complexity, with an earthy array of flavours. not 1 worm at the bottom of the bottle for one lucky chap/chapess, so everyone can experience the Mexican way.The Monte Alban was the first Mezcal to be awarded an export contract and is probably one of the most authentic Mexican spirits. For centuries it has been considered a delicacy for the people of Mexico and each agave worm is seen as a key to the soul of the person who eats it.

An aromatic and fruity tequila, Altos Plata is sweet in the mouth, with citric notes of lime and lemon and cooked agave.

I have tried a dozen different tequilas, gold, silver, black and some other abominations, and it truly is never a good idea, never!

Tequila much like Ouzo is one of those drinks you think is an awesome idea at 1am in the morning 5 hours into a night out, of course its the first thing you taste in the morning and you instantly regret it, if only you remembered it. Our propietary matching algorithm uses nine different characteristics to find the best matches for you. They are well established in the market, and many have had the experience of “tasting the Mezcal worm” with their signature Reposado. Many fond memories of getting absolutely hammered with good friends and having great times but it tastes nothing like the quality Mezcals we all enjoy today.
