All Bino Mexcal is Mezcal but not all Mezcal is Bino Mexcal

Did the small family producers in Tequila, Jalisco, eat the metaphorical and literal lunch of the big producers in Guanajuato and San Luis Potosi at the 1893 World’s Fair? It’s a What If? 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, with supporting insights from Juan Pedro Valdés of Mezcal Villasuso.

Episode Notes

To be 100% clear, Mezcal Villasuso is owned by the Villasuso family! Now can we be friends again, Malena?

Also, while I refer in this episode to Mezcal Potosi and Mezcal Potosino, that term would never have been used for the mezcal made in Guanajuato, which is where Mezcal Villasuso is (and for decades has been) made.
