Proudly demonstrating that spirit lovers sacrifice nothing to enjoy an authentically crafted experience of the traditions and flavors of Mexico.
Ojo de Tigre Artisanal Mezcal is produced in small quantities by artisanal methods:
• Cooked in an underground stone pit oven.
• Fermented naturally in wooden vats.
• Distilled twice in cooper stills.

Delightful!
A splendid spirit that I have not tried before. Interesting and may become my favourite.
lovely for margaritas!
I got a voucher to try this and it made a cracking cocktail. Im not a straight spirit drinker to score it higher but Im sure its great.
Balanced and gently smokey
Im reviewing this product because I got a free coupon from Ocado. Im new to mezcal, but Ive been enjoying tequila in cocktails recently so thought I would step it up. Its smokey, but not overpoweringly so. Its smooth and balanced. Neat its too strong and smokey for me, so I tried the cocktail suggestion on the Ocado listing (with pineapple juice and ginger beer) which was nice. But Ive tried it with just pineapple juice and its lovely. The smoke hits you as an aftertaste and its smooth and no harsh alcohol flavour. Im looking forward to trying it with other fruits like citrus and kiwi next. The bottle is a lovely thick glass. Im definitely keeping it as a water bottle after Ive finished this drink!
Tequila with more flavour
This being Mezcal, the flavour is more pronounced than Tequila. Smell is more barnyard and taste more complex when paired with fresh orange, lime, lemon or pineapple. Not for slamming more for savouring.
Mezcal Margs!!
Now, my new favourite cocktail, available on Ocado! This beautiful mezcal is the perfect addition to agave lovers and newbies alike. A lower abv for more approachable smoke but still the traditional beloved taste profile. Up-cycled into a fantastic flip top water bottle for my office!
