The word “mezcal” comes from the indigenous language Nahuatl “mexcalmetl,” which means agave or maguey that has been cooked. This sweet cooked agave is mashed, fermented and double distilled to make Mezcal. Mezcal also has a magic and religious connotation within Mexican culture. It is recognized as an excellent world quality distilled beverage, thanks to its fine aromas, unique flavors, and high quality. In the nineteenth century, colonial aristocrats liked Mezcal so much that they used to call it “Mexican Cognac”, because of its exquisite and delicious flavors.
