The Liquor:
Company: Sazerac Co.
Location: 2001 E. 4th Street, Owensboro, Kentucky
Style: Mezcal
ABV: 40%

The Drink:
Drank out of a 1.5 oz. fratdog (Pink Floyd) American shotglass

Boozy aroma with subtle peppery spice and oaky tannins.  

This tequila drinks very well, and is very smooth.  The taste is very peppery and spicy, and the alcohol burn is pretty subtle, and doesn't come through in the finish like a lot of liquors.  There is a bit of a repeat on this drink though.  

Overall:
This is actually a pretty good drink.  Be warned though, it isn't actually Tequila, as tequila has to be >51% blue agave, but this is made from the Maguey plant ( a variety of Agave).  If you need a cheap drink, this is definitely the right way to go, a diamond in the rough, or a gold in the rough as Sam Stortz would say.
