Monte Alban - Mezcal Con Gusano (with worm) is probably the best value in Mezcal and has been produced for decades now. Well before Mezcal became "cool". A fairly priced introduction to the style. Note: Mezcal and Tequila are produced in nearly the same way but only Mezcal produced in the region around the city of Tequila can called Tequila.
You can buy Mezcal at Friar Tuck Beverage.
Monte Alban has great complexity with an earthy array of flavors. Exclusively produced in the Oaxaca region of Mexico, Monte Alban is double-distilled using a unique process developed by the Aztecs nearly 500 years ago. Monte Alban has a pale straw hue and pungent spice, wood and mineral aromas. A rounded, supple start leads to a smooth, medium-bodied, exotically peppery finish. Great complexity with an earthy array of flavors.
