Sipping mezcals made from wild and cultivated agave varieties — comparing smoky, earthy, and floral profiles, exploring how the piña is roasted, mashed, and fermented by different Oaxacan palenques and maestros mezcaleros.

The Essentials

Tips

  • Sip mezcal neat in small amounts rather than shooting it, since the flavor complexity from the agave and smoking process is the whole point of tasting.
  • Taste with orange slices sprinkled with sal de gusano (worm salt) if offered, a traditional pairing that complements the smoky, earthy notes.
  • Start with a joven (unaged) mezcal to taste the pure agave and smoke character, then move to reposado or añejo to compare how barrel aging changes the profile.
  • Take small breaks between sips and cleanse your palate with water, since mezcal's intensity can dull your ability to distinguish flavors in later tastings.
  • Ask about the agave variety used, since different species (espadín, tobalá, tepeztate) produce noticeably different flavor profiles.
  • Pace yourself, since mezcal is typically 40-50% alcohol and tastings often include multiple pours.
