A traditional spirit of Mexico, mezcal is known for its centuries of rich history and distinct set of artisanal techniques that have been passed down for generations. But recently, the once-local spirit has seen an astronomic boom in popularity in the U.S., going from a niche pursuit to a widely used cocktail ingredient. The spirit even found its way into beloved modern classics like the Naked and Famous, Division Bell, and Oaxaca Old Fashioned. Though mezcal’s newfound fame is great for fa...| VinePair
When Fabiola Santiago was born, Oaxaca’s mezcal industry was in trouble. For decades—centuries even—her ancestors had worked with agave, planting, harvesting, and producing the traditional spirit in Santiago, Matatlán, the so-called “world capital of mezcal.” It wasn’t just a job; it was an essential part of their heritage and identity as members of the Indigenous Zapotec community. --- But in the 1980s, an agave shortage, combined with increasing demand for tequila (and other lo...| 7x7 Bay Area

Tonight at the Lehrhaus in Somerville I’m sampling Milagro Tequila Silver 100% de agave. For folks new to some part of this, you might want to ask “Wait, what exactly is a tequila,” or possibly “What is a Lehrhaus?” To answer the first question, let’s offer an analogy: Whiskey is a spirit distilled from fermented […]| Distilled Sunshine

I am excited to have just released the new and improved version of my book: Holy Smoke! It's Mezcal! The Revised 2nd Edition. I think it is bigger, better, and more in-depth than the 1st edition. In fact, I would venture to say that it goes far deeper than any other mezcal book. It's 272| Mezcal PhD
I have known Asis Cortes since 2013. It was in the early days of this Mezcal PhD blog, and I had been invited to a tasting in the East Village for a new mezcal called El Jolgorio.

Yes, this is largely true everywhere, but perhaps the contrast […] The post Buy Mezcal Futures – A Great Cause (Updated) first appeared on Mezcal PhD.| Mezcal PhD
Many of you may know the storied tequila brand, Porfidio. While Patron may have been the first widely-marketed premium tequila sold in the US, there was nothing like Porfidio in the late ’90s to early 2000s. You might not remember the name, but you certainly remember the “Cactus Bottle”. It captured the imagination then and […] The post The Arc From Porfidio to Mezcal: My Agave Journey Comes Full Circle first appeared on Mezcal PhD.| Mezcal PhD
I first published this post in 2012. At the time, mezcal was little known. And while the battle for recognition is still uphill, mezcal is far more popular today than it was back then. Since 2012, mezcal sales are up almost four times, and the vast majority of bars, restaurants and liquor stores, carry at […] The post Tequila vs. Mezcal first appeared on Mezcal PhD.| Mezcal PhD
