Welcome back to All Things Whiskey Podcast! On this episode Hosts Mike Outcalt and Devin Mitchell sit down with special guest Nico Meyer the co-founder of Por Lo Bueno Mezcal.

Yes, we are a Whiskey podcast, but we always love exploring new expressions and were thoroughly impressed with the entire lineup of Por Lo Bueno Mezcals. If you're a whiskey enthusiast and particularly someone who enjoys Tequila and/or Peated Scotch, then it is absolute worthwhile exploring Mezcal and learning about the wonderful world of agave spirits.

On this episode we learn a TON about the Por Lo Bueno process to making their Mezcals, the story behind the brand, and get to sample a wide variety of their expressions including:

• Espadín: 6-8 year old agave plants, a classic entry level mezcal
• Cuixe: 10-12 year old agave plants, bright flavors and a gin drinker's favorite
• Cirial: 10-12 year old agave plants, bright savory and vegetal notes
• Tobalá: 10-12 year old agave plants, a bourbon drinker's favorite
• Pechuga: the only bottle in the country, suspended in the still with botanicals and meats
• Tepextate: 20-30 year old agave plants, simply an outstanding mezcal

Be sure to check out Po Lo Bueno (https://www.porlobueno.com/) and raise a glass for all good things!

Cheers - keep drinkin' tasty whiskies and mezcals!

Join us for a great interview with Owner John Lupori and Part-Owner, Brand Ambassador, and Advisory Board Member Anne Hutchison .
