Mezcal Brands
Mezcal is elaborated in 9 different states of the Mexican country, made through the distillation of agave hearts. There are several kinds of agave, each one of them producing a different type of mezcal. Unlike tequila, mezcal can be mixed with other ingredients, like fruit & spices.
While tequila can only be made in the Tequila region and only from blue Weber agave, mezcal is usually produced in Oaxaca (it can legally come from anywhere in Mexico) & can be made from many types of agave, some of which only grow wild. Historically, producers used whatever agave they found locally. Mezcal distillers traditionally slow-roast the agave by burying it in pits with hot rocks, which infuses the final product with its signature smokiness.
