MEZCAL GUERRERO MEXICANO 100% Blue Agave (Agave Azul),United States MEZCAL GUERRERO price supplier

Mezcal Guerrero is a 100% Agave Tequila. To understand how this distinguishes it
from other Tequila, it is necessary to know something of the process by which
tequila is produced. Although Mexico is famed as the land of the cactus, Tequila
is in fact distilled from the fermented juice of the Agave Plant, (not a cactus)
otherwise known as the ‘Century plant.’ The Agave plant resembles an unripe,
oversized pineapple or spiked cactus which shoots a giant blossom that can take
up to twelve years to produce. At maturity, it stands about 5 feet high, is
bluish green in colour and has a heart or ‘pina’ . It is these hearts which are
actually used in the distillation process, the sweet juice extracted by
compression, steaming and washing prior to fermentation & distillation.

The fermentation stage determines whether the final product will be 100
percent agave or mixed ("mixto"). The highest-quality Tequila is made using only
fermented agave juice mixed with some water. Mixto however, is made by
fermenting and then distilling a mix of agave juice and other sugars, usually
Cane Sugar with water. Mixtos made and bottled in Mexico can contain up to 40%
alcohol derived from other sugars. Mixtos that have been shipped in bulk for
bottling overseas may have the agave content further reduced to 51% by the
foreign bottler. Mexican law states that all 100% agave or aged Tequila must be
bottled in Mexico. 100 percent agave Tequilas are clearly labelled as such.
Anything else is classified as a Mixto Tequila, however the term is seldom used
on bottle labels.

The worm in each bottle of Mezcal Guerrero is actually the larva of
one of two moths. There is some mystery surrounding the purpose of this worm and
its supposed hallucinogenic properties. One theory is that the worm serves as
proof of high alcohol, which is to say that if the worm does not disintergrate
in the bottle, the percentage of alcohol in the spirit is high enough to
preserve and pickle. We still hear of the occasional psychedelic experience but
we are yet to be convinced these are actually related to ingesting the worm.
Suffice to say that, if one has reached the bottom of a bottle of Tequila,
hallucinations are bound to occur with or without worms. No tasting notes
available.
