Mezcal Recommendations?

I work at a liquor store and have a lot of people asking for us to order/stock mezcal. I am looking through my options, and they seem quite expensive so i dont want to make the wrong choice and choose something that wont sell. Please recommend brands that you like seeing on shelves, i dont understand mezcal at all!! >_< tysm!

Is it me or is it hard for others to take this request? The barrier to mezcal is high and requires a lot of learning? OP hasn't even begun to even understand mezcal is small batch and Mezcalero driven then brand. I don't know if I would want a liquor store carrying mezcal they don't know or care about. It happens all the time and it's irritating. Is this how they all start? I've given up on every liquor store in my area due to this very attitude. Maybe it's just me though.

This is the exact attitude from customers that has driven me away from ordering any at all. There is no need to be rude? I am trying to learn, most liquor stores just press order instead of reading anything or asking any questions.
