Mezcal

Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit made from agave plants, often called "mezcal" or "mezcal de agave." Unlike tequila, which is specifically made from blue agave and produced mainly in Jalisco, mezcal can be crafted from many types of agave and produced in various regions. The agave hearts are roasted in underground pits, giving mezcal its distinctive smoky flavor. The spirit is typically distilled in small batches and enjoyed for its complex, earthy taste. Mezcal is valued for its artisanal production methods and cultural significance, making it a unique and flavorful alternative to other spirits.
