How Mezcal is Made
Mezcal is a spirit born of the earth and fire. From the moment agave plants are nurtured under the Mexican sun, every step follows a tradition that respects nature. The harvested hearts, or piñas, are slowly roasted in underground ovens heated by volcanic stones, a process that fuses fire with soil. Crushed by stone and left to ferment naturally in open wooden vats, the agave begins its transformation without chemicals or shortcuts. Finally, distilled by hand in small copper stills, mezcal emerges as a pure reflection of land, climate, and community.
Tequila vs Mezcal
Mezcal and Tequila are both Mexican spirits made from agave, but they have differences. Tequila is primarily made from blue agave and is produced in specific regions, while mezcal can be made from various types of agave and has a broader range of production areas. Mezcal is often known for its smoky flavor due to the traditional production process, which involves roasting the agave in underground pits. In contrast, Tequila tends to have a cleaner, more straightforward taste profile.
Mezcal is a story of land, tradition, and resilience. Its journey begins with the agave, a plant that takes up to eight or even twelve years to mature under the sun of Oaxaca and other regions of Mexico. The piñas are then roasted in underground earthen pits lined with volcanic stones, a process that infuses mezcal with its signature smoky depth. the agave fibers are left to ferment naturally, guided by the local yeast of the environment. Finally, the liquid is distilled in small copper or clay stills, resulting in a spirit that carries the taste of the land and the soul of Mexico.
