Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit made primarily from the agave plant, with Espadín being the most common variety used. This unique spirit is characterized by its distinct smoky flavor, which results from roasting agave hearts in earthen pits before distillation. Mezcal can be enjoyed in various forms: unaged (Joven), aged for at least two months (Reposado), or aged for a minimum of one year (Añejo), each offering different complexities and flavor profiles.
The aroma of mezcal often features earthy notes complemented by citrus, herbs, and sometimes floral or fruity undertones, creating a rich sensory experience. Its texture ranges from smooth to full-bodied depending on the aging process. Mezcal is versatile in cocktails, commonly used in drinks like the Mezcal Margarita and Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, but it is also appreciated neat or on the rocks to fully savor its intricate flavors.
