This Isn’t Tequila… But It Might Be BETTER | Dohba Mezcal

About this episode

Bradley Niccum reviews Dohba Mezcal Ensamble and discusses its qualities compared to tequila.

Dohba Mezcal Ensamble Review | Mezcal vs Tequila | Additive Free Mezcal | Agave Rhodacantha | Agave Potatorum | Tequila Alternative Is mezcal better than tequila? In this video, I review Dohba Mezcal Ensamble made from 80% Mexicano (Agave Rhodacantha) and 20% Papalometl (Agave Potatorum), and this might completely change how tequila drinkers think about mezcal. Dohba Mezcal is produced in Oaxaca using traditional methods like underground pit ovens, open-air fermentation, and copper pot distillation—bringing out a completely different side of agave spirits compared to tequila. If you love additive-free tequila like G4, Fortaleza, or Ocho, this is a must-watch. In this review: * Full tasting notes (nose, palate, finish) * Breakdown of Mexicano vs Papalometl agave * Mezcal vs tequila differences explained * Is this a good entry mezcal for tequila drinkers? This is not your typical smoky mezcal… this is layered, complex, and built on tradition. Let me know in the comments: Have you tried Dohba Mezcal or any ensamble mezcals? #Mezcal #Tequila #Dohba #Agave #AdditiveFreeTequila #MezcalReview #TequilaReview © Tasting Tequila with Brad
