Blending education and tastings, the History of Mezcal will provide attendees with knowledge of and increased appreciation for the history and cultural uses of North America’s original spirit. The presentation will cover various aspects of mezcal, including etymology of the word, historical origins, artisanal production, diversity of the genus Agave, and the difference between tequila and mezcal. Pours of artisanal Mezcal from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, will be paired with orange slices with agave worm salt and cabuches (the flower of California barrel cactus).
