How is mezcal different from other distilled spirits like tequila?
Mezcal and tequila are both distilled from agave, but they mainly differ in the type of agave used and the production process. Mezcal can be made from various agave varieties and involves a traditional cooking method in earthen ovens, giving it a distinctive smoky flavor. Tequila, on the other hand, is primarily made from blue agave and has a smoother flavor profile.
