What is Mezcal?
Mezcal is a traditional Mexican distilled spirit made from the heart of the agave plant. It has a complex flavor profile that ranges from smoky and earthy to fruity and floral. The production of mezcal follows age-old techniques that have been passed down through generations.
Exploring Mezcal Production
The production process of mezcal is a true art form. It starts with harvesting mature agave plants, which can take up to a decade to mature. The hearts of these plants, known as piñas, are cooked in underground pits to release their sweet juices. The cooked piñas are then crushed using a stone mill or tahona, and the resulting pulp is fermented with water and wild yeast.
After fermentation, the liquid is distilled in traditional clay or copper stills. This careful distillation process enhances the unique flavors of mezcal, giving it a distinctive character. The final product is a spirit that reflects the craftsmanship and tradition of generations of mezcaleros.
