All About Agave!
Join us for a month-long fiesta celebrating the vibrant and diverse world of agave spirits! Dive into the rich flavors and traditions of Tequila and Mezcal with our three hero brands: Arette, Fortaleza, and Gracias a Dios. Agave spirits are distilled beverages made from the agave plant, a succulent native to Mexico. These spirits have been crafted for centuries, with deep cultural and historical roots. The heart of the agave, known as the piña, is cooked, fermented, and distilled to create these unique drinks. Each bottle tells a story of the land and the hands that crafted it, resulting in a wide range of flavors, from earthy and smoky to sweet and floral.
While both Tequila and Mezcal are agave spirits, they have distinct differences. Tequila is made exclusively from Blue Weber agave and primarily produced in the region of Jalisco. The piñas are typically steamed in ovens, resulting in a cleaner, more consistent flavor profile. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from various types of agave and is often produced in Oaxaca. The piñas are roasted in underground pits, giving Mezcal its signature smoky flavor. Think of it as the BBQ of the spirits world! Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or a curious newcomer, this is the perfect opportunity to explore and savor the unique profiles of these exceptional spirits. So, grab your sombrero, raise a glass, and discover the magic of agave with us – because life is too short for boring drinks!
