How Jeronimo Taught Me to Taste Mezcal Differently | Mezcal Local Review

I've been tasting agave spirits for over 20 years, but one conversation completely changed the way I approach mezcal.

After sitting down with Jeronimo, founder of Mezcal Local, I learned a completely different way to experience mezcal—and in this video, I'm putting that method to the test.

Today, I'm tasting Mezcal Local using Jeronimo's approach and exploring how the aroma and flavor change when you experience the spirit in a different way.

Here's what we explore:
