What’s the deal with Rusty Mezcal?
A couple weeks back, we dropped an episode that suggested that Tequila Oro might have originated from distillers dropping chunks of the cooked heart of the agave into their finished spirits. And after that episode aired, I started thinking about another golden phenomenon I’ve seen around Mexican spirits: rust. And maybe rusty Mezcal can give us some additional insight into Tequila Oro? It’s a speculative spectacular in this episode of Agave Road Trip!
Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. This episode is hosted by Lou Bank with special guest Linda Sullivan of seynasecreto.
