They say it's a dry heat in Old Mexico, where the dusty streets echo the refrain, "Come on in! Shop around...it's better than K-Mart!" (True story!) That's the inviting hook, but buyer beware of our riff on the Monte Cassino! This belly crawler lures you in with tangy and sweet notes, then strikes with its smoky Mezcal bite. The only known antidote is time, so saddle up cowboy and hold on for the ride.
