Pierde Almas +9 Mezcal for the Adventurous Spirit, $89.99

A spirit that defies definition, this is a triple-distilled mezcal tequila with the traditional nine botanicals of gin. If James Bond knew this existed, he’d be ordering it. The first ever gin-based on agave spirits, this sipping gin lingers on your palate and lends itself to unique craft cocktails or a revival of the until-now-outdated gin and tonic.
