Zignum anejo mezcal

[Veggo]

Anybody heard of it? I'm scavaging for items I can't buy stateside. I'm cautious about fancy bottles at $US94 a throw. The reposado is about $55, as I recall. No samples available. I need guidance within a couple weeks, thanks. Gimmick, or the real deal?

Veggo, 'reposado' mezcal is a gimmick. Mezcal is meant to be blanco. Try Mezcal Amores, it is superb.

Thank you both.

Cristina, Amores does not seem to be available in PDC. Honestly, I have not found anything of any sort worth bringing home from PDC. Times have changed.

Sorry, Veggo, I thought you were in Oaxaca. Amores is a palenque-made small batch artisanal mezcal that I can get in the DF, but not easily. Are you coming this way? I can grab a bottle for you.

Out of curiousity I did a little google. It appears that Zignmum is owned by Coca Cola!!!!!
