With a Spanish-to-English translator, we listened intently to each step in tasting three different samples of Mezcal from Mexico. We were instructed to smell the bottom rim, then the top of the glass, and swirl the glass for ten seconds while covering it with our palms to see the differences in aromatics in each of the three stages. Smelling the differences in the aroma as we continued was a fantastic experience.
To add to our senses, we sampled oranges, cinnamon sticks, lemon rinds, and cacao to add dimension to our palate and the flavors they created upon impacting one another.
In between each Mezcal sample, we cleansed our palates with water and crackers and rubbed coffee beans in our hands for a fresh start.

We learned how the plants are grown, harvested, fermented, and stored during the Mezcal making process following ancient spiritual rituals handed down from generation to generation. The entire experience was exciting and educational; Salute!
