I totally agree, Bob. There are some great tequilas out there. Sadly they’re really quite expensive here in Australia but it’s still nice to splash out once in a while. I think I still prefer mezcal over tequila, but then I like very peaty scotches too.
Thanks for the heads-up on the number of agave plants the mezcal makers use. I was trying to find a bit more information about how many there are, but as with the hazards of internet research – there was lots of conflicting information! In the end I went with a more conservative number! But what you said about the complexity of mezcal is exactly what Regina was telling me. The character of each of the different types of agave really come out in the mezcal.
Thanks again for your comment. Appreciate you stopping by. 🙂

Good tequila is a fine thing too, after all, it’s really just a type of mezcal anyway, but smoky artisan-made mezcal beats one-dimensional, over-distilled factory tequila any day.

Just a heads up, mezcal is made from more than 7 types of agave in Mexico – it’s something between 20 and 30 types, although some of these are more common than others. The diversity of the base materials is another reason why it’s such a complex and interesting spirit. Thanks for sharing this post!
