Codigo Artesenal Mezcal 750ml

I was skeptical about celebrity mezcals, but the barrel finish from Napa wine casks gives this a smooth, unexpected fruitiness that’s nothing like the usual smoky stuff. It’s complex enough for sipping neat but still approachable for a casual night.

The double resting in the Sauvignon Blanc barrels really shines through—I get a smooth, slightly fruity finish that I haven't found in other mezcals. It's complex enough for sipping neat but the price feels fair for what you're getting.

I was skeptical of the celebrity tie-in, but the Sauvignon Blanc barrel finishing gives it this unexpected bright, almost fruity edge that smoothes out the smoky hit. Poured a glass for my cousin who's a diehard mezcal purist and even he asked for a second round.
