La Fogata Mezcal

QUESTION: Has the bottle and label changed, or did I buy a counterfeit?
ANSWER:

1 August 2016

Hello Renice,

Thank you for your email, we looked at your picture of La Fogata Mezcal and that is correct, this is a new package design for the brand.

It is not a counterfeit so not to worry!

If you need anything else please let me know.

Thank you,
