Transcription

1 [AN-TOH-HO] Craving TEQUILA A BRIEF HISTORY Mezcal, considered to be the Mexican whisky, is said to have been cultivated centuries ago with the arrival of the Spaniards in. They began experimenting with the distillation process of the locals drink pulque, derived from the sap of the agave plant. There are over 200 varietals of agave plants. Tequila, a type of mezcal, can only be made in five states surrounding the town of Tequila with blue weber agave. While other Mezcals can be made officially in nine states from around 30 different agave varietals-espadin, barril, coyote etc. To make Tequila the agave is harvested by the Jimador and baked in an above ground oven, pressed, and left to age for various lengths of times depending on what style of tequila is being made. For mezcals, once the agave is harvested it is roasted underground for up to three days creating the smokey, rich flavour it is known for.
