Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about tequila and mezcal
What is tequila?
Tequila is named after the town of the same name Tequila in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The drink is made exclusively from the blue agave (Agave tequilana), and production is limited to certain regions in Mexico, such as Jalisco and parts of the states of Nayarit, Michoacán, Guanajuato and Tamaulipas. To bear the name "tequila", the drink must comply with strict rules and be produced within these defined areas, similar to the rules for champagne in France.
Tequila production is deeply intertwined with Mexican culture and history. Originally, indigenous peoples made a drink called pulque from the juice of the agave plant. When the Spanish conquistadores arrived, they introduced distillation techniques, eventually leading to the creation of tequila as we know it today. Today, tequila is not only a drink for the holidays, but also a symbol of Mexican pride and heritage.
What is mezcal?
Mezcal, on the other hand, has broader origins and is made from different species of agave plants. Mezcal production is less regulated than tequila, although the main region for production is Oaxaca, where the drink plays a central role in cultural rituals and ceremonies. While tequila is mainly made from blue agave, mezcal can be produced from dozens of different agave varieties, including Espadín, Tobalá and Pechuga.
The production of mezcal has a centuries-old tradition and is often still made by artisanal methods. The unique character of mezcal comes from the process by which the agave hearts (also known as "piñas") are roasted in underground pits, which gives the drink its distinctive smoky flavour. Mezcal is often considered the "parent" of tequila, as the process is much more traditional and rustic.
What is the taste difference between tequila and mezcal?
In terms of flavour, tequila and mezcal are very different, although they share the same agave base.
Tequila has varying flavours depending on its maturation. Young, unripened tequilas such as blanco have a fresh, sharp agave flavour, with notes of citrus, pepper and sometimes a hint of sweetness. As tequila matures, as in the case of reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year) and añejo (aged at least 1 year), the drink develops a softer, fuller character with hints of vanilla, caramel and oak.
Mezcal has a much more pronounced and complex flavour profile. The smoky undertones are immediately noticeable and come from the roasting of the agave. Depending on the agave variety used and the production process, flavours can range from earthy and mineral-like to fruity, floral or even meaty, as in the rare pechuga mezcal, where meat or fruit is added during the distillation process. The smokiness, however, always remains a dominant feature.
What is the difference between tequila and mezcal?
Although tequila and mezcal are both agave-based drinks, there are a few key differences that set them apart:
- Agave varieties: Tequila is made exclusively from blue agave, while mezcal can be made from dozens of different agave varieties.
- Production process: In tequila, the agave is steamed in ovens and then distilled, resulting in an often cleaner, less smoky flavour. With mezcal, however, the agave is roasted in underground pits, giving the drink its distinctive smoky character.
- Geographical origin: Tequila is mainly produced in Jalisco, while mezcal comes mainly from Oaxaca, although it is made in several other Mexican states.
- Flavour profile: Tequila tends to be softer and more approachable with a focus on agave, citrus and wood notes, depending on the ageing. Mezcal, on the other hand, is more complex and always has a smoky base, with a wide range of flavours depending on the agave variety and production process.
How do you drink tequila and mezcal?
Traditionally, both tequila and mezcal are drunk pure, often without any additives to fully experience the complex flavours. Tequila is sometimes served with a small glass of water or a slice of lime to cleanse the flavour. Mezcal is often served with a slice of orange and a little sal de gusano (salt mixed with dried worms and chilli) to accentuate the flavours.
Of course, tequila and mezcal are also widely used in cocktails. Tequila forms the basis of the famous Margarita, a refreshing combination of tequila, lime juice and triple sec. Mezcal is increasingly common in cocktails such as the Mezcal Negroni, in which the smokiness of mezcal adds a new dimension to the classic Negroni.
