Beyond the Tequila Confusion: A Journey into the World of Mezcal
In short: Join two enthusiasts as they explore a collection of six different mezcals brought back from Mexico. This tasting offers a personal look at the diverse, often challenging, and sometimes surprisingly subtle profiles found in this traditional spirit.
Moving beyond the common question of whether tequila and mezcal are interchangeable, this video examines the distinct characteristics of various bottles. The tasting includes Alipus 'Sta. Ana Del Rio', which presents a difficult profile featuring floral and vegetal notes alongside an overwhelming diesel flavour and a sharp bite.
The exploration also highlights lighter varieties that offer a clean, slightly sweet taste and herbal notes, though some may be so inoffensive that they lack a memorable aftertaste.
