Mezcal Güey hit the market in early 2025 with a funky pastel-hued label and a wallet-friendly price tag. Distilled in San Dionisio Ocotopec, Oaxaca, the spirit comprises a blend of Espadín and Cuishe agave roasted for four days before extracting with a horse-drawn mill. This is being marketed as an accessible, workhorse mezcal, an interesting and somewhat rare choice for an ensamble (mezcal blend) in this day and age.

  • Grapefruit, lemon, tilled earth and crunchy bell peppers. A nice if somewhat subdued balance between sweet and herbaceous notes. The mouthfeel tingles with a sparkly minerality and pangs of pine needles.

  • Nose:

    Classic, smoky mezcal through and through. Tons of pineapple and pineapple rind, lime zest, ash and a mineral, sort of lactic funk note reminiscent of limestone.

  • Taste:

    Grapefruit, lemon, tilled earth and crunchy bell peppers. A nice if somewhat subdued balance between sweet and herbaceous notes. The mouthfeel tingles with sparkly minerality and pangs of pine needles.

  • Finish:

    Ash, confectioners' sugar and mango combine for a medium-length finish. A lot of that smoke from the nose swings back around to make its presence known.

  • Overall:

    Simple and effective. Provides a little bit of everything you'd expect from a sub-$60 mezcal. As a cocktail mixer, this will add a nice combination of smoke and citrus right at home within your next Margarita or Paloma. A great choice for the bar cart.
