• Our Bottle: Ensemble
  • We picked this because of how smoky and scotch like it was
  • The ad for this bottle say its light but with a complex finish
  • If this is light, I might really like mezcal!
• What is mezcal
  • Made only in Jalisco
  • “Mezcal” is like whiskey, where tequila is like “bourbon” All tequila is mezcal but not all mezcal is tequila
  • Made using agave hearts (pinya) that are roasted in a pit, which makes it smoky
  • It roasts for a few days, then dug up and smashed using a stone wheel moved by horses
  • This is fermented into polque
  • Usually then distilled in pot stills
    • If the bottle says “Destilado en barro” then it is distilled in a clay pot still
  • The spirit is distilled to the proof wanted, it is not cut, and usually not aged
    • Repisado is aged version
  •
