Mezcal is made from over 30 agave species, varieties, and subvarieties, in contrast with tequila, which is made only with blue agave. [20] Of many agave species that can be used to make mezcal, seven are particularly notable. [14] There is no exhaustive list, as the regulations allow any agaves, provided that they are not used as the primary material in other governmental Denominations of Origin. [21] The term silvestre "wild" is sometimes found, but simply means that the agaves are wild (foraged, not cultivated); it is not a separate variety.Inaugura URO XII Feria Internacional del Mezcal"[XII International Festival of Mezcal opens] (in Spanish).

The mash is allowed to ferment, the resulting liquid collected and distilled in either clay or copper pots which will further modify the flavor of the final product. [5] The distilled product is then bottled and sold. Unaged mezcal is referred to as joven, or young. Some of the distilled product is left to age in barrels between one month and four years, but some can be aged for as long as 12 years. [18] [9] Mezcal can reach an alcohol content of 55%. [18] Like tequila, mezcal is distilled twice. The first distillation is known as ordinario, and comes out at around 75 proof (37.5% alcohol by volume). The liquid must then be distilled a second time to raise the alcohol percentage. Produced by a group of families who have been growing agave and creating mezcal in the San Baltazar Guelavila region of Oaxaca for generations. According to Diageo, over the last two years, Mezcal Unión has become one of the leading mezcal brands in the Mexican on-trade.Not all bottles of mezcal contain a " worm" (actually the larva of a moth, Comadia redtenbacheri, that can infest agave plants), but if added, it is added during the bottling process. [19] There are conflicting stories as to why such a thing would be added. Some state that it is a marketing ploy. [5] Others state that it is there to prove that the mezcal is fit to drink, [18] and still others state that the larva is there to impart flavor. [9] [19] Formally, mezcal has carried an appellation of origin since 1994. Like wine, it has its own geographical indications, which reflect the state and region it’s grown and produced in. It has always had an “it takes a village” quality to it, with communities coming together not only to enjoy it, but help make it. We’re helping them appeal both to customers wanting to beat the January blues with a flavourful pint of Tongham TEA, and to the increasing number of consumers with a thirst for beers with full taste but lower strength, which peaks this month.”
