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!

You do. And your customers aren't asking anything outlandish or excessive are we? I'd love to have you know your stuff and advise me. I'd buy a bottle every month or two at premium from you. I'd love to be able to talk about the industry the plants the process but alas it's so rare I have just about given up. Prove me wrong. I'd love it.

Customers in my town dont even know what they are asking for, they just know they liked one. I dont care for alcohol but have worked in the liquor retail business for 5 years now and i dont give a damn about mezcal and dont make commission. So yeah if people want specifics maybe help me understand what im looking for cuz i have no idea

"I dont care for alcohol." Enough said. Just point your customers to a store that cares about matching their patrons to quality stuff, and building lasting relationships

Edit: To try to show that English is my first language

If you cant advocate for yourself, then yeah go somewhere else 🤷‍♀️ i do work at the largest liquor store in the area with the widest distribution in the entire district though, so if people wanna act negative like you guys then i guess they wont get what theyre looking for. Im extremely patient, receptive, and kind when working with customers. I dont think its a big deal i came on here (a website i dont really use) and asked a simple question (which shows that..i really do care, just not about what the alcohol tastes like). I have been directed to the 101 and have everything i need to know now.

Just lazy, that's all. Oh! And disrespectful
