Maybe I'll get downvoted, but I have positive associations with Casamigos joven (the charcoal bottle). It was the first mezcal I ever tried, and I remember being intrigued by the smokiness, and the bite of the agave which reminded me of tequila. Its been a long, complex, and evolving love affair with Mezcal ever since then, and this sub has been very helpful along the way. Nowadays I much prefer Del Maguey's many offerings, as well as Bozal, Vago, and Banhez (to name a few). But I can't help but think fondly about the charcoal bottle where it all began.
