Heads, Hearts, and Tails: Where You Cut Matters
Most people, I think, are under the false impression that when you distill a spirit, what comes out of that still goes directly into the bottle. But, in fact, different distillers make different decisions about which parts of the distillation they keep and which parts they leave out — and those decisions have a profound effect on the finished flavor (and, in rural Mexico, whether or not the finished spirit can qualify for certification as “mezcal”). That’s what we talk about in this episode of Agave Road Trip!
