Mezcal

Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit with deep cultural roots, crafted from the hearts of agave plants, known as “piñas.” Unlike tequila, which is made exclusively from blue agave, mezcal can be produced from a variety of agave species, giving it a distinctive and complex flavor profile. The production of mezcal is an artisanal process that involves roasting the agave piñas in underground pits, which imparts a unique smoky flavor to the final product. After roasting, the agave is crushed, fermented, and distilled, often in small batches using time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

Mezcal’s taste can range from earthy and smoky to sweet and floral, depending on the type of agave used and the region where it’s produced. Whether sipped neat or used as a base in cocktails, mezcal offers a rich and authentic experience that reflects the heritage and craftsmanship of Mexican culture.
