Is the recipe missing a sugar source like agave nectar, simple, or dem?

It's listed as intended, drunk like a whiskey you'd sip; mezcal often reads "sweet" to my palate. But I'd certainly be open to experiments with a sweetener to bring it over to an Old-Fashioned template. That may well make a better drink. Just didn't need it to complete the pangram! :-)
