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.
