These brands have crafted exceptional mezcals that stand out in the crowded market, offering unparalleled quality and taste.

So, grab your copita and get ready to discover the best mezcals for sipping.

 

1. Ilegal Mezcal Anejo

($39.99) Shop here

Ilegal Mezcal Reposado

Not many mezcals come in añejo, so this Ilegal Mezcal is pretty special. This is aged extra, giving it a sweeter agave flavor that is so delicious to sip on. Just put it over some rocks and enjoy.

 

2.Union Mezcal Uno Joven

($39.99) Shop here

Union Mezcal Uno Joven

This is my favorite budget-friendly sipping mezcal. For only about $40, you can get a very wonderful mezcal that is so good to sip on. It’s going to be smoky, but it’s also going to have some fruitiness, with citrus and pear flavors in there. I love it with just a slice of orange—delicious!

 

3. The Lost Explorer Mezcal Salmiana

($169.99) Shop here

Lost Explorer Salmiana

We can’t even talk about this without salivating; it is actually that good. This is our absolute favorite sipping mezcal— the Lost Explorer Salmiana. It is just so silky on the tongue and has very fresh flavors. You don’t need to drink it with anything—literally just drink it neat, put it in a little copita, and just sip on it. It’s going to be life-altering for you. This has also won so many awards this year and last year, and for good reason. So I’m not lying when I say this is probably one of the best mezcals you’ll ever have. I do have to warn you, this will cost you a pretty penny, but it’s so, so worth it.

 

Remember, the beauty of mezcal lies in its unique flavors and rich traditions. So grab a bottle, take your time, and enjoy every nuanced sip. Salud!
