Na zalogi

<p>Mezcal is produced like tequila from the agave plant, but from other plant species (espadin).&nbsp;</p><p>These Mezcal agaves grow mainly in the state of Oaxaca, where the <strong>best Mezcal</strong> is also produced.&nbsp;</p><p>Furthermore, the production process differs from that of Tequila.</p><p>The Mezcal is roasted over charcoal in contrast to Tequila, which is heated in ovens. Thereby it gets its <strong>smoky</strong> aroma.<br><br>The Mezcal Gusano Rojo has a real <strong>"Maguey worm"</strong> inside, which is actually a <strong>moth caterpillar of a bullheaded butterfly.</strong> Some might find it disgusting when a dead insect swims in their glass, for the others it is just part of it…<br><br>There are two types of <strong>"agave worms"</strong> living in agave plants: the <strong>red</strong> ones, which live in the roots, and the<strong> white </strong>ones, which live in the leaves of the agave.&nbsp;</p><p>The worm (the moth caterpillar) gives the Mezcal its aroma and is naturally <strong>completely harmless.</strong></p><p><strong>Tasting notes:</strong></p><ul><li>Earthy, fine and mild taste. Peanut tones, taste of ripe cooked agave.</li><li>Smell: smoky, tangy, white pepper, pine forest.</li></ul>
