Why haven't you bitches warned me about Mezcal???

Mezcal is disgusting.

I did not know that. Thought it was supposed to be better somehow.

OP, when you see something that's 100 proof, just know people aren't buying it or drinking it for the taste.

You have honestly never tried anything like Mezcal.

It has a taste like no other liquor.

When I uncorked the bottle, I thought that something was wrong with it, because it smelled like a burning rubber tire. The smell was offensive.

So I poured a little bit out, and sipped it. And it tasted like that awful smell!

I had to look it up to see if it was normal, and most sites said that it indeed has a taste similar to a trash fire, because the agave leaves are burned in a pit, giving the mezcal the smoky taste and aroma.

They say smoky, I say burning rubber.

If you get a chance, go out and try it. I'd love to hear what others think of this drink.

R4 as delicious as you make it sound, I think I'll pass.

[quote]IT TASTES LIKE GASOLINE POURED OVER BURNT TIRES!!!!!!

Do you drink a lot of burning gasoline, OP?

I love it. It has a nice smokey flavor.

It still tastes better than haggis!

Since booze is basically a kind of gasoline, don't be surprised when it taste like something you might put in your gas tank

yeah it's really gross. like burned meat flavor.

Not to mention that if you drink a little too much, that shit will make you bat shit crazy.

All alcohols taste like shit to me, no matter what.

Why is that, R11?

This is why Mezcal tastes to smoky and gross.

They basically burn the agave in a fire pit, and it ends up tasting like.... something burned in a fire pit.

Nobody warned you because no one thought there was anyone dumb enough to try it.

Guess you exceeded our expectations.

I agree with OP. I actually live in southern Mexico right where mezcal is produced, and I've visited many of the distilleries, but I won't touch it. I do like tequila, however.

I also eat the worms (they're called gusanos de maguey). They're really delicious in soft tacos with guacamole.

Mezcal is indeed awful. Let me go ahead and warn you in advance about Grappa. It's not as bad as Mezcal but it is also a bit like lamp oil.

r16 is trying to trick us into eating worms.

I love a Mezcal margarita. Y’all are a bunch of philistines.

R18 Haha! I know they look jarring at first glance, but they actually taste like bacon or pork chops.

And, they're crispy, not squishy.

(Now, you want them, yeah?) 😆

R16/R20, how do they drink Mezcal in Mexico?

Straight up? Mixed? On the rocks?

R21 Yes.

OP, do yourself a favor: Donate your bottle of Mezcal to a homeless alcoholic and call it a day.
