There is a saying in México: “For all bad, Mezcal and for all good, Mezcal too”

The Mezcal is obtained from different Agave varieties (limeño, raicilla, pata de mula, bovicornuta, cupreata, etc) and the Tequila is only obtained from the Agave Azul Tequilana Weber and some varieties of it. Mezcal is considered a finished product after only one destilation process and Tequila requires at least two destilations processes and it is meticucously filtered to eliminate any impureness to get a softer flavor.
