Mezcal ( / m ɛ ˈ s k æ l/, Latin American Spanish: [mesˈkal] ⓘ), sometimes spelled mescal, [1] is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from any type of agave. The word mezcal comes from Nahuatl mexcalli [meʃˈkalːi], which means "oven-cooked agave", from metl [met͡ɬ] and ixcalli [iʃˈkalːi]. [2] Traditionally the word "mezcal" has been used generally in Mexico for all agave spirits and it continues to be used for many agave spirits whether these spirits have been legally certified as "mezcal" or not. [3] There are three legally defined mezcal categories, as set out by the Consejo Regulador del Mezcal (CRM): Mezcal, Mezcal Artesanal, and Mezcal Ancestral. Each category dictates the methods and equipment producers can use to make the spirit. Glass aging allows for slow oxidation, without the evaporation that would occur in barrels. The technique also allows the spirit to mellow slowly without taking on any extra flavors from oak. Other Mezcal Styles Mezcal de PechugaThe professionals we consulted included Susan Coss, a mezcal educator and co-founder of the popular blog Mezcalistas; Scott Rosenbaum, a spirits educator and strategist for importer-distributor T. Edward Wines; and Taylor Samuels and Shad Kvetko, co-owners of Dallas’s first mezcaleria, Las Almas Rotas. How Is Mezcal Made? Every batch of Mezcal Verde features a unique label designed by a contemporary Mexican artist. It is another collaboration aimed at supporting the local culture of the mezcal-producing regions - be it farmers, distillers or artists. And it captures the essence of any good drink - enjoy the moment and have fun together. Es fácil confundirlos pues ambos se consiguen del maguey, pero lo qué es el mezcal se distingue debido a que se consiguen usar diversas especies de magueyes para su producción, mientras que para el tequila solo es usado el agave azul. Found in southern Mexico across Oaxaca, Puebla, Guerrero, and Michoacan, Tobalá is an incredibly rare variety that cannot reproduce asexually (unlike many other varieties that can propagate sexually and asexually). Instead, it relies on bats and birds to spread its seed. Tobalá takes between 10 and 15 years to mature and produces low-yielding piñas with a low inulin content. For this reason, the earthy, fruity mezcals it produces are often very expensive.

Mezcal añejo In the 21st century, mezcal, especially from Oaxaca, has been exported. [12] Exportation has been on the increase and government agencies have been helping smaller-scale producers obtain the equipment and techniques needed to produce higher quantities and qualities for export. The National Program of Certification of the Quality of Mezcal certifies places of origin for export products. Mezcal is sold in 27 countries on three continents. The two countries that import the most are the United States and Japan. [7] In the United States, a number of entrepreneurs have teamed up with Mexican producers to sell their products in the country, by promoting its handcrafted quality, as well as the Oaxacan culture strongly associated with it. [5] Mezcal is made from over 30 agave species, varieties, and subvarieties, in contrast with tequila, which is made only with blue agave. [20] Of many agave species that can be used to make mezcal, seven are particularly notable. [14] There is no exhaustive list, as the regulations allow any agaves, provided that they are not used as the primary material in other governmental Denominations of Origin. [21] The term silvestre "wild" is sometimes found, but simply means that the agaves are wild (foraged, not cultivated); it is not a separate variety.
