Understanding these terms
General explanations of the terms above — these describe the concepts, not this specific bottle.
Tequila vs. mezcal
Both are distilled from agave. Tequila is made only from blue Weber agave within designated regions; mezcal can use many agave species across its own denominations. The category is a legal/geographic distinction, not a measure of quality.
How is agave cooked?
Agave hearts (piñas) are cooked to convert starches to fermentable sugars. Common methods include autoclaves, masonry/brick ovens, and earthen pits. It is a general production choice; each method is a factual step, not a quality claim.
