Casamigos Mezcal Joven
Don't
Nose: Sweet – then thin, confected – a vanilla-forward base with barely any smoke, a faint cane-sugar note and something vaguely alcoholic underneath
Palate: Almost sugary, industrial, with a manufactured smoothness that plays as absence. 40% is the wrong proof for anything the agave might have wanted to say, and every production decision points toward drinkability-for-non-mezcal-drinkers rather than toward the spirit
Finish: Hot, sweet, gone in a way that almost feels engineered – short

Nose: Faint smoke, confected vanilla, alcoholic heat
Palate: Thin and sweet at 42% – built to hit a celebrity-brand price point without any production conviction
