If you\u2019ve been tempted, but usually stick to whisky then read on, because we\u2019ve picked out some terrific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/tequila\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tequila<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/mezcal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mezcal<\/a> matches based on your preferred whisky profile.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s no surprise that at Master of Malt, we\u2019ve got a soft spot for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whisky\/\">whisky<\/a>. But, increasingly, we\u2019re seeing more and more of you opt for agave, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/post\/super-premium-tequila-takes-off.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">premium Tequila taking off<\/a> in a big way. And it\u2019s not just Tequila \u2013 plenty of Mexican spirits are on the rise, with the likes of mezcal now a mainstay in the cocktail scene, and bottles of raicilla and pechuga taking pride of place at many a home bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the UK and beyond, this is a welcome change, where public perceptions of Tequila have been hampered by early introductions to sub-par spirits, drunk in excess, and with too much salt. The agave fans among you will know that in many export markets, agave spirits haven\u2019t been given the recognition they deserve, whereas whisky has tended to dominate when it comes to conversations surrounding craft and quality. But this has changed massively in recent years as consumer demand for small-scale, single-variety, and premium agave spirits grows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whisky drinkers who haven\u2019t come around to agave yet might find that there\u2019s a lot to love. And plenty of the flavour notes you look for in a whisky are there in agave spirits too. So if you\u2019re agave-curious or already an aficionado, here are some spirits to consider when you\u2019re next shopping for a bottle.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51350\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51350\" class=\"wp-image-51350 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mexican-Week-Rooster-Rojo.jpg\" alt=\"A bottle of Rooster Rojo Reposado Tequila in a room with red walls that's filled with sand and cacti\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mexican-Week-Rooster-Rojo.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mexican-Week-Rooster-Rojo-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mexican-Week-Rooster-Rojo-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mexican-Week-Rooster-Rojo-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mexican-Week-Rooster-Rojo-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mexican-Week-Rooster-Rojo-1050x700.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-51350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rise and shine, it&#8217;s Tequila time with Rooster Rojo Reposado<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>If you like<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Great taste and great value <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/singleton-of-dufftown-12-year-old-whisky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singleton of Dufftown 12 Year Old<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Why not try<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/tequila\/rooster-rojo\/rooster-rojo-reposado-tequila\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rooster Rojo Reposado Tequila<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of the whiskies you keep going to again and again, for very good reason.

Mezcals often have earthy smoke, mineral, and medicinal notes, thanks to the agave being cooked in the likes of earthen pits.

This 100% agave Tequila is an easy crossover for bourbon lovers seeing as it\u2019s been aged in bourbon casks for at least six months, but should be equally pleasing for anyone who likes things oaky.
