Mezcal’s smoky and complex flavors have captured the hearts of many, making it the fastest-growing spirit globally. The tequila and mezcal industry in Mexico faces challenges to meet the worldwide demand as agave plants require up to ten years to mature before being harvested and distilled. Despite these challenges, mezcal continues to captivate enthusiasts and connoisseurs worldwide.
