What is Mezcal?

Mezcal is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from agave plants, primarily in Oaxaca, Mexico. Unlike tequila, which is made exclusively from blue agave, mezcal can be crafted from more than 30 different types of agave, giving it a wide range of flavours. Its distinct smoky character comes from roasting the agave in underground pits during production. For fans of bold spirits, explore our Tequila collection for another taste of Mexican craftsmanship.

Types of Mezcal

Mezcal comes in several styles, offering unique flavour profiles:

  • Espadín: The most common type of mezcal, offering balanced smoky and fruity flavours.
  • Tobalá: A rarer variety made from wild agave, known for its floral and sweet notes.
  • Tepeztate: An earthy, herbal mezcal crafted from long-maturing agave plants.
  • Ensamble: A blend of different agave species, creating a complex and layered spirit.
    For more artisanal spirits, explore our Spirits collection.

Mezcal and Food Pairings

Mezcal pairs wonderfully with traditional Mexican dishes like tacos, mole, and grilled meats. Its smoky profile complements rich, savoury flavours and adds depth to the dining experience. It also pairs well with citrusy or spicy foods, enhancing their flavours.

The History of Mezcal

Mezcal has a rich history dating back to pre-Hispanic Mexico, where indigenous peoples created fermented agave beverages. With the introduction of distillation by Spanish settlers, mezcal evolved into the spirit we know today. Deeply rooted in Mexican culture, it remains a symbol of tradition and craftsmanship. For more historically significant spirits, explore our Brandy collection.

Mezcal in Cocktails

While mezcal is often enjoyed neat to appreciate its complex flavours, it’s also a fantastic base for cocktails. Classics like the Mezcal Margarita and Oaxacan Old Fashioned showcase its smoky, earthy profile. For additional cocktail ideas, visit our Liqueur collection to find complementary ingredients.

Sustainable and Artisanal Mezcal

Many mezcal producers embrace sustainable and artisanal practices, from using wild agave to traditional production methods that honour the environment.
