Mezcal

Agave Angustifolia, Espadin, Chato

Almost 90% of mezcals are made with Agave Angustifolia. The Espadin coming from Oaxaca is what gave mezcal its fame, more or less. These plants mature in about 10-12 years, are hardy and produce a lot of sugar and juice to make mezcal with. Espadin is the perfect agave to showcase mezcal’s classic flavors of floral and ripe fruit, herbaceous earth and smoke. Chato is synonymous with Espadin from Jalisco, but is not included as one of the states for making mezcal and thus must be called Destilado de Agave

Pechuga

The “Pechuga” style is a very special style of mezcal intended to celebrate the harvest and other monumental events. The mezcal is steeped with fruits and spices then redistilled with a piece of meat, most commonly a poultry breast suspended in the still. As the vapor moves through the breast the flavors of the herbs and fruit become softened and the mezcal gains a rich, silky mouthfeel. Now we see people making pechugas with all sorts of meats and vegetables. These mezcales are rich with fruits and spices and sometimes even a little gamey. Delicious!

Agave Convallis, Jabali

The rare Agave Jabali is extremely hard to work with: it foams and expands during fermentation and distillation, which has led to some stills being damaged during distillation as the spirit has been known to burst out of the seams of the still. This agave has a distinctly wild attitude, and many of the Jabali mezcals that can be found in Oaxaca are still somewhat chaotic and unrefined. But with crazy and unpredictable fermentation comes abundant flavor! Creamy yet acidic, floral green melon

The genetic grandparent of the famed Tobala agave. These are short and stocky with broad leaves and generally a little larger than tobala. They are found mostly growing wild in Michoacán and Guerrero. Certain regions call mezcal made from cupreata “Papalomé,” meaning butterfly. They lean towards earthy and a bit savory, along with the usual delicate, fruity and floral characteristics associated with mezcal

Ensambles, Blends

Ensemble is a technique used by skilled mezcaleros that allows them to assemble different agave varieties roasting for one single batch. Like a painter, they can pick and choose through a variety of agaves to achieve the flavor profile they would like. Some argue that this style demonstrates what mezcal was like many many years previously when whichever agave was ripe was what was roasted and produced. They really run the gamut of flavors since there is no rule but extreme nuance is guaranteed. Blending occurs when the spirits are mixed postdistillation

Agave Salmiana, Salmiana

This agave plant is huge with leaves that are thick, dark green with a large point at the tip and strong spines on the edges. It takes about 7-10 years to grow and can be found in the highlands of Coahuila, Durango, and San Luis Potosi. These agaves are known for their unique green and funky flavors. Unlike most mezcal that we know as being cooked underground in earthen ovens, in San Luis Potosi, it is traditional to cook the agave in above ground clay ovens similar to tequila that make some of these spirits lack the traditional smoky notes of other mezcals, but for what they lack in smoke they make up for in vegetal, mineral, robust flavor

Agave Karwinskii, Madrecuixe, Barril, Tobaziche and others

Karwinskii agaves are almost Doctor Seuss-like with a short stalk that the agave piña and leaves grow on top of, almost resembling a small palm tree. The importance here is the stalk can also be roasted, fermented and distilled along with the piña. There are less sugars and thus less juice so this results in mezcals that are drier, more tannic, herbaceous and not quite as fruity and floral as others, though still plenty complex and delicious

Raicilla is made in Western Jalisco. Raicilla can be made from many different types of agave that are scattered across the landscape. These varied agave species, along with great diversity in terroir, equipment and techniques, give Raicilla an amazing spectrum of flavor. The humid environment results in bacteria activity which affects the fermentation and can make Raicillas very funky and acidic. Raicilla can range from overripe papaya and green grass to blue cheese and brine. A real wild ride!
