now Mescal is a different game altogether for me. If I have a Mescal shot it is just basically to take a shortcut really lol! I have not had much of it honestly though, and if there are smoother sipping kinds out there, I have not met them yet. I am with you in smoothness and flavor. I do on occasion slam it back, but that is only with Cuervo or something like that where you really don't care because it is so average. But smooth high quality tequila is my personal scotch to bring it back to the original conversation. My personal rule is, if I am in the US at a restaurant or something and want smooth good tequila I go with Patron (I know you disagree, but it is still a good quality tequila I say if you are having one serving at least), Don Julio, or Herradura but must be anejo for me on those. In Mexico I always try and grab something I have never heard of and would have a hard time finding in the US.
