Casamigos Mezcal Joven

The bottle has #24058 on it. This sh*t tastes ass. The taste is kind of tastes medicinal mixed with commercial cleaner. It’s hard to describe but I’m gagging just thinking of the taste and the aroma together. It’s like an expired liniment, mixed with turpentine with a couple pours of mineral spirits and a shot of wintergreen alcohol to round it out. I know this sounds like a delightfully delicious concoction but, surprisingly, it isn’t. The only way I could make it anywhere near palatable, was to mix 1oz with 4oz 1/2 oj & white grapefruit + 1oz Meyer lemon. It was still a tad gross but I figured out if I hold my nose the embalming fluid Odor along with the industrial elixir flavor was not as intense and vomit inducing. Cheers!

Numero: 24058
I would give this bottle a lower score if that were possible. This is commercial destilado for the American palate. So bad I cringe a little bit calling it mezcal.
The nose is flat and non existent. Kind of smells like metallic water. The palate offers a very thin layer of smoke but no complexity other than that. The only redeeming quality of this destilado is the fact that some would say it’s “smooth” but this mouthfeel just feels thin, as if they’d charcoal filtered it.
Overall terrible bottle. Tastes like steamed overly immature agave. Nothing really of note.
I would only give this to someone if I wanted to win a bet with a vodka drinker who says they won’t like agave spirits (still refuse to call this mezcal).

Literally the worst thing I ever tasted in my life. Not just worst alcohol but worst anything. This was my first “mezcal” and I’m gonna wake up early to go buy some regular tequila to forget about this disaster. I just happened to pick this one off the shelf and I must have been cursed at the time. It tastes like burnt wood, paint thinner and jet fuel. I had to create this account just to post the awful review to save others souls. I’m gonna try to return it tomorrow because no one should be selling or consuming this. Run!!!!

Nose: Thin, paint remover in spades. There’s some clay and basic agave underneath, smelling minty, with smoke that reminds me of cleaning my barbecue grill. Not as ashy and chemical and fake as the first time I tried this, which I guess is good? With enough air, papaya-like fruits, smells more like Matatlan but I can’t confirm this – OH WAIT I’m right, found it. I just can’t read.

Palate: Wet ashtray entry, thin, acidic, really thin, chemical cleaners, a decent amount of smoke on the finish (oh why did I swallow this… yikes). Wet ashtray.

Thoughts: I remember disliking it more which is like, how? How was it possible to make something much worse than this? This is insulting and believe me I wanted to hate it but WOW they didn’t have to make that so easy to do.

Conclusion and “t8ke” scale rating: 2/10. Maybe a 3, if it opens up better – the nose is becoming close to tolerable. My gosh, this shouldn’t exist at almost any price point.

This isn’t me hating on a celebrity spirit, this is simply a disgusting mezcal. I ordered it neat at a nice Mexican restaurant and after two or three sips I deemed it undrinkable on its own. I asked if they could make the rest (it was originally a 2 oz. pour) into a cocktail – a Oaxaca Old Fashioned. The ice diluting the already horrible mezcal made the concoction nearly undrinkable. I did choke it down but I cringed the entire time. So bad. Not to mention it’s sometimes upwards of $70 a bottle. Insane.
