Mezcal, an agave based spirit that is more than a drink in Mexico. It Is a conduit to the past, a connection to land and a link between generations. A companion to Mexicos rich culture, traditions and heritage.

Each drop of Mezcal starts with the story of different & remarkable agave species that grow across Mexicos rugged landscapes.

A story of mezcaleros traditions and knowledge through generations; from understanding each agaves plant lifecycle, the different production methods they utilize and the indigenous communities from which they come from.

And this is where the story of Mezcal gets complicated. With over 40 different agave species used in making Mezcal across Mexico to different fermentation, cooking, and distillation methods, mezcals story is even more complex and difficult to understand.

But the more you understand about the production methods, the different regions and different agave species used in making mezcal the more you will appreciate this amazing spirits and its unique flavors.

This episode I show you how Ancestral Mezcal is made.

I couldn’t have done this episode without the Navarro family opening their doors and allowing me to come work, learn, and film the process of making Ancestral Mezcal. Also a huge thanks to Alex of Somos Mezcaleros, and the Gran tunal distilleria team for helping me with logistics, explaining ancestral Mezcal, and making this an amazing episode.

🎥 Welcome to the official YouTube Channel of Beer, Wine & Spirits 🎥

Hi, I’m Jeff Bradford. My passion for beer, wine, and spirits ignited an urge to investigate the stories behind the labels.

So, in 2018, I sold everything I owned to travel the world.
My objective: to learn the secrets of brewers, winemakers, and distillers.
From Switzerland to Jalisco, I set out to determine why their process yields extraordinary results.

With each stop on the map, I reveal time-honored traditions, cultural influences, and industry practices that help you discover the soul of these incredible products.

As a former member of the US military, I learn by doing.
You’ll see me harvesting grapes in South Africa, pouring beer at Oktoberfest, and chopping agave in Tequila.

My channel is dedicated to the passionate, hardworking people who make the beverages associated with our favorite celebrations, special events and amazing moments with those we love.

Join me as I find the next fascinating story about your favorite Beer, Wine, and Spirits.
Cheers!
