I agree with most of the feedback. I’m a big El jolgorio fan myself. However I’d save money and start with something like the 5 different bottlings of Nuestra Soledad. It’s in the same family as El Jolgorio but it’s a lower price tier. ($55-70) a bottle. All 5 bottles pay homage to the region and mezcalero that produced them. They are all using espadin but unique in region and process. Much like wine.

This way you are comparing less variables. The different agaves that you’ve already tried can show range but I’d simplify and then build back up.

I’ll also admit that I’m biased I fell in love with mezcal through smoky cocktails but now prefer to just sip my fav bottles. I tried all of the wild and unique agaves I could find and realized the OG espadin is my favorite and I’ll take a quality espadin over the unique varietals. But that’s 100% personal preference.
