The name mezcal comes from the Nahuatl (or Aztec) word “Mexicali” meaning an oven-cooked agave. It is believed that Spanish conquerors taught distilling techniques to the indigenous of Mexico around 400 years ago.
Although people tend to assume mezcal is synonymous with tequila, mezcal is its own drink with a rich history. Like tequila, mezcal is made from agave, a warm climate succulent, and originated in Mexico, where it is the national spirit. While all tequilas are a form of mezcal, not all mezcals are tequilas.Tequila is made from blue agave specifically, whereas mezcal can be made from more than thirty different types of agave.
Chris Dempsey will lead a guided tasting through four unique Mezcals, each with their own distinct taste reflected from the terroir and process used to create this centuries-old spirit.
