What is Mezcal?
Mezcal is a traditional Mexican agave spirit, similar to tequila, and historians say it is one of the oldest spirits in the world. Who and where exactly the inventor is, however, is somewhat unclear. Some sources claim that Mezcal was first mentioned in the 16th century and was invented in what is now Mexico. Others say that the Indians invented distillation over 3000 years ago.
The fact is, however, that Mezcal can only be produced in Mexico today; the designation of origin has been in effect since 1995.
Quality levels
As is often the case with plant species used for spirits, there is an extensive variety of varieties. There are up to 50 different types of agave to choose from for production. The most commonly used variety for mezcal is the 'Espadín'.
In addition to the agave itself, it is also permissible to use up to 20% other sugar sources in production, according to which the quality levels are divided:
Tipo | stands for mezcal made from 100% agave; Tipo || for mezcal made from at least 80% agave and 20% other types of sugar.
Taste
This agave spirit has its very own aroma, it is difficult to create a clear definition here, it is often described as light and refreshing. Notes of sweet honey and fresh, cut grass but also the aroma of tropical fruits flatter the palate, along with slightly nutty aromas and subtle wood notes.
