Intro to Mezcal Science: Tasting & Lecture
Overview
Come with me and discover the natural and cultural diversity of Oaxaca by tasting its most iconic spirit: Mezcal!
We’ll learn to engage all five senses as we explore how the raw ingredients—different species of agave—and each producer’s unique recipe influence the aromas and flavors of traditional mezcal.
Along the way, we’ll uncover the beautiful stories behind each mezcal and the deep connection that every producer has with their land and the biodiversity that surrounds them.
