{"title":"Mezcal","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMezcal is a distilled spirit produced from fermented agave. The agave, often mistakenly thought of as a cactus, is actually a separate species of succulent related to both the cactus and the lily. In order to be considered mezcal, the spirit must be produced in one of seven approved Mexican states; mezcals from Jalisco that are produced from blue agave are more specifically certified as tequila, just as those from certain specific states and agave varietals may carry other names (bacanora, sotol, et cetera). Mezcals have become popular among spirits connoisseurs in part because of the distinctiveness of their varietal characteristics; unlike a grain spirit, the individual type of agave used in a mezcal (or by extension, a tequila or similar spirit) expresses strongly and flavorfully even in unaged spirits. In fact, many purists prefer joven (unaged) mezcals to reposado or anejo versions. Making mezcal is an old tradition; dating back to the introduction of distilling techniques to Mexico from Spanish and Filipino sailors, it is an integral part of Mexican culture, especially in regions with strong indigenous influences, such as the state of Oaxaca, which produces the highest quantity and variety of mezcal.","products":[{"product_id":"ilegalmezcaljoven","title":"Ilegal Mezcal Joven","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIlegal Mezcal Joven offers enticing aromas of sweet smoked agave, eucalyptus and earth, complemented by a light floral note.

The good news here is that there are 5 states and 2 additional territories which can still lay claim to Mezcal. The result is an amazing array of artisan spirits which still reflect the long, distinguished and authentic history of agave spirits in Mexico. Regretfully, much of what has been known as mezcal outside of Mexico has been cheap, poor quality, and often had a worm in the bottle. The worm, of course, was a marketing gimmick and it masked the chemical taste of poorly-produced mezcal.
