- [Mezcal Dixeebe Hits the Market](https://mezcalphd.com/2022/02/mezcal-dixeebe-hits-the-market/) - I have known Asis Cortes since 2013. It was in the early days of this Mezcal PhD blog, and I had been invited to a tasting in the East Village for a new mezcal called El Jolgorio. Yes, it is amazing how far mezcal has come in the last nine years. In 2013, practically no
- [Mezcal Joints of the World](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/11/mezcal-joints-of-the-world-including-tequila-and-cocktail-bars-with-an-agave-focus/) - This is a continually updated post on Mezcal Joints of the World. The list is global, but it starts with NYC since I live here. As it fills out, perhaps some more organization will follow (perhaps not). If you are a bar or restaurant and want to be on this list, please email me at john@mezcalphd.com.
- [Ilegal Smooth - Dewar's Scotch Finished in a Mezcal Barrel](https://mezcalphd.com/2020/05/ilegal-smooth-dewars-scotch-finished-in-a-mezcal-barrel/) - I imagine this post will draw some fire from some mezcal purists and maybe some Scotch purists as well, but I don't mind. As anyone who has read my musings over the years knows, I am all about category expansion and drinking what you like. So if a few Dewar's drinkers are exposed to the
- [Buy Mezcal Futures - A Great Cause (Updated)](https://mezcalphd.com/2020/04/oaxaca-needs-a-hug-too/) - We all know these are weird times we are living in. I live in NYC, and there is an unsettling calm to our lives; no traffic, relatively few people out and about, everything closed, no Naked Cowboy in Times Square, and a million other oddities. Yes, this is largely true everywhere, but perhaps the contrast
- [My Favorite Mezcal Sayings](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/03/my-favorite-mezcal-sayings/) - As you probably know, mezcal has a cult-like following. Perhaps these sayings have emerged as a result of that, or maybe people are trying to further the education of mezcal, or maybe they are trying to capture the cultural and spiritual heritage of this spirit. Or maybe they were just bombed when they came up
- [Mezcal 101 - Overview](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/03/hello-world/) - In Mexico, mezcal is uniquely tied to the history and the culture. It is spiritual, romantic, mystical, traditional, and revered. It is served at births, weddings, funerals and everything in between. In the U.S., mezcal is largely misunderstood, though we are trying to change that. In my youth (the bar-hopping good times of the late '80's) there was a
- [Daddy, Tell Me About the 400 Rabbits](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/03/daddy-tell-me-about-the-400-rabbits/) - Well son, the 400 Rabbits are a bunch of cute, fuzzy, cuddly little bunny rabbits that are always getting crazy drunk on mezcal and tequila! Now that's a great bedtime story, isn't it? Really. Here is the myth of the 400 rabbits. In Aztec mythology, first there was Mayahuel, the goddess of the agave plant and of

Have a Drink.](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/03/welcome-to-mezcal-phd-have-a-drink/) - **You can subscribe to all my future posts with the "Subscribe" button above** Calling myself Mezcal PhD is really more of an aspirational title than one based in fact. On the other hand, who is to really say? Can you really get a PhD in spirits, and more specifically Mezcal? And who would award such
- [Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2012 Results](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/03/ultimate-spirits-challenge-2012-results/) - The results of the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2012 are out, and I must say they are a bit puzzling to me. I am, of course focusing on the mezcal results, but click the full results if you care to review them. http://www.ultimate-beverage.com/the-results/2012-spirits-results/#category_6 To me, the surprising result is that the top rated mezcal is Del Maguey Vida. Now this
- [Master Mezcalier Classes](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/03/master-mezcalier-classes/) - So here is a cool thing I came across. In August of 2011, COMERCAM, among a few other sponsoring bodies, officially passed into Mexican Law a certification program to become a Master Mezcalier. Now who wouldn't want to be that??!! Master Mezcalier....let it roll off the tongue. Say it with me: Master Mezcalier. Feels good, right? If
- [The Two Greatest Mezcal Cocktails Known to Mankind](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/03/the-two-greatest-mezcal-cocktails-known-to-mankind/) - Now that may sound like a bold claim, but I believe it. I have gone through a massive mezcal cocktail discovery process, and have made many, tried many, and therefore, consumed many. It has been hard, as you might imagine. But through this process, I have not found any that can top these two. Yes,
- [The Oaxaca Old Fashioned (slightly reinvented)](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/04/the-oaxaca-old-fashioned/) - I had the good fortune of being at a cocktail party on Saturday night where mezcal was the featured spirit. A mezcal party? You know good things are going to happen and a good time will be had by all. While many mezcal libations were going around, the highlight of the night for me was
- [5 Generations of Mezcal Making in Oaxaca](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/03/5-generations-of-mezcal-making-in-oaxaca/) - This is the type of thing I love so much about mezcal. http://oaxacaculture.com/2012/03/five-generations-of-mezcal-making-in-oaxaca/ This family has been making their mezcal since 1795! The brand is El Cortijo, which I am pretty sure cannot be found in the states. But I hope to find it on my next trip to Oaxaca.
- [Is Wild Shot the Cuervo Gold of Mezcal?](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/04/is-wild-shot-the-cuervo-gold-of-mezcal/) - I know you are well aware of Cuervo Gold, and I am also guessing that you have heard about Wild Shot Mezcal. I will come back to Cuervo, but first let's discuss Wild Shot. It was launched in early 2011 by country singer Toby Keith, who apparently is very popular, though I don't think I
- [Mezcal Stones?](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/04/mezcal-stones/) - Whenever people ask me how I like to drink mezcal, I say "often". But usually they are wondering if I like to drink it on the rocks, neat, chilled, in cocktails, or whatever. My first response is that you should drink it however you like and not worry about whether there is a "right
- [Mezcal Statistics:  Parsing the 2011 COMERCAM Data](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/01/mezcal-statistics-parsing-the-2011-comercam-data/) - COMERCAM, which is the government entity in Mexico that regulates mezcal production and certification, publishes a limited set of data on the mezcal market every year. The information comes with a bit of a time delay. For example, the 2011 data was just published at the end of 2012. This is clearly not ideal as
- [Is There Confusion in the Mezcal Market?](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/12/is-there-confusion-in-the-mezcal-market/) - Recently, a VERY knowledgeable mezcal market participant hypothesized the following theory: all of the variations and multiple products being pushed out by individual brands is confusing to the average mezcal consumer and potential mezcal consumers. This person felt there were too many tobalas, pechugas, madrecuixes, etc, and that the overwhelming number of choices led to no
- [Hurricane Sandy (not much to say about Mezcal this time)](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/11/hurricane-sandy-not-much-to-say-about-mezcal-this-time/) - I could not let this tragic, devastating, and historic event go by without saying something about it. Many have said that this is New York's "Katrina", and they are right. The loss of life is not as great, but the pain, suffering, loss of property and tremendous sense of dislocation for so many is vast.
- [Mezcal Summer Cocktails: Part 2](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/08/mezcal-summer-cocktails-part-2/) - This is a quick note to add one inspiring mezcal cocktail to last week's post: My wife and I went into the restaurant Up the Creek in Vail for a date night on Monday. Our intention was to stop in and have a drink before we went for Sushi. Now Vail is not a well-known mezcal
- [The Worm and How It Set Mezcal Back 50 Years](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/04/the-worm-and-how-it-set-mezcal-back-50-years/) - I curse the worm! Well, OK, that may be a bit dramatic, but I am definitely not a fan of the worm. The only good place for a worm is in the mouth of a fish.The worm I am going to talk about today is more correctly referred to as a larvae (a gusano in Spanish),
- [9 Mezcals You Have Probably Never Heard Of](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/05/9-mezcals-you-have-probably-never-heard-of/) - I recently came across a post from another mezcal blogger, La Nina del Mezcal (click to see her post), that I found to be interesting. It was about the "MEZCALFEST DF 2012", which was apparently recently held in Mexico City, though I confess that I cannot find anything online in English about this mezcal festival (yes, my
- [How Many Agave Varieties Can Be Used To Make Mezcal?](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/05/how-many-agave-varieties-can-be-used-to-make-mezcal/) - I always keep a running mental list of all the mezcals I taste and read about that are made with magueys other than the agave espadin (which accounts for about 90% of mezcal production). For years, really the only one I would see beyond espadin, was the Del Maguey Tobala. However, in the last few years, I

Overall, it was a fine event which featured many tequilas and a handful of mezcals. However, I was a bit disappointed that there were not other Mexican, agave-based spirits that were represented. It would have been easy

Oops, wrong story. There I was at the bar at Empellon in the West Village in NYC. Matt Resler, bartender extraordinaire, passionate agave expert, and all around good guy, was kindly pouring me what he believed to be was the release of a VERY SMALL
- [Mezcal Summer Cocktails](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/07/mezcal-summer-cocktails/) - While the headline is Mezcal Summer Cocktails, in truth, I have never met a cocktail that I loved in the summer, that I did not love in the winter (or the fall or spring). If it is good, it is good, and I am happy to drink it year-round. So here are two recent favorites
- [Master Mezcalier Class - Level 1](https://mezcalphd.com/2012/06/master-mezcalier-class-level-1/) - OK, I am really behind. I hate when my MBA gets in the way of my PhD. So yes, I have been too busy to put up many posts, so I have some catching up to do. I also owe a strongly positive review to Matt Resler and Empellon here in NYC - the mezcal
- [What Is Mezcal and Why Is It Happening Now?](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/05/what-is-mezcal-and-why-is-it-happening-now/) - Like many of my posts, I try to hit upon themes that I hear about all the time from friends, family and people I meet. If I had a bottle of mezcal for every time I am asked "What is mezcal?", I would have quite a collection. And I have quite a collection - see what
- [How Many Varieties of Agave Can Be Used to Make Mezcal?  (Take 2)](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/03/how-many-varieties-of-agave-can-be-used-to-make-mezcal-take-2/) - Here we go. Strap on your agave nerd hat! I have been working on this new piece for months. I put up my first post on this topic in May, but I have learned more since then and this list is better. Perfect? No. But better. You see, it is a difficult topic to tackle.
- [Mezcal Tasting March 9](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/03/mezcal-tasting-march-9/) - There was a night a few years ago when I decided to have my own very private mezcal tasting. I had collected a few very nice bottles at that point and wanted to try them side by side to compare, contrast, and enjoy. But by myself? Sure. Why not? Just me and my booze. But my wife was
- [Mezcal, Tequila, Sotol, Bacanora, Raicilla, Pulque, and More...](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/10/mezcal-tequila-sotol-bacanora-raicilla-pulque-and-more/) - As you certainly all know by now, any distilled agave-based spirit is a mezcal. So under the broad category of mezcal, we have a variety of spirits that are unique in their own right. Also, in the general family of agave-based alcohol, there is pulque, which is derived from the agave but is not distilled.
- [Mezcal:  It's a Movement, Not a Moment](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/06/mezcal-its-a-movement-not-a-moment/) - Recently, I put up a post on why mezcal is happening now. I started thinking about this again (well, OK, I am always thinking about this) as I saw yet another article where they described the recent popularity of mezcal as "Mezcal's Moment." And I realized that this drives me crazy! Just Google "Mezcal's Moment" and see how
- [Mezcal Tasting Number 2: Vail July 6th](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/07/mezcal-tasting-number-2-vail-july-6th/) - As a regular reader, you may recall I held a mezcal tasting at our apartment in NYC this past spring (and did I mention it rocked, of course?!). As we are now spending several weeks in Vail this summer, I thought it was wise to continue planting mezcal seeds wherever I travel. Once planted, mezcal seeds tend
- [What Does Mezcal Taste Like?](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/09/what-does-mezcal-taste-like/) - When most people taste mezcal, the immediate response is "it's smoky", and that would certainly be correct. Some more than others, but smoky nevertheless. But as you get into mezcal, and spend more time with it, you start to find that there is a lot more subtlety and complexity beneath that smoky front. With the
- [El Jolgorio:  A Boutique Mezcal with Many Varietals](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/11/el-jolgorio-a-boutique-mezcal-with-many-varietals/) - As a regular reader, you know I have a fascination with the diversity of agaves from which mezcal can be made. From my-likely-to-be-highly-inaccurate accounting, I am somewhere in the mid-40's of species, sub-species, or varieties of agave from which mezcal is currently produced. I recently came across an academic research piece from the noted agave
- [How Do You Know A Quality Mezcal?  What is Traditional Mezcal?  What is Artisanal Mezcal?  Do the Distinctions Matter?](https://mezcalphd.com/2013/08/how-do-you-know-a-quality-mezcal-what-is-traditional-mezcal-what-is-artisanal-mezcal-do-the-distinctions-matter/) - There is a debate going around in the mezcal community (yes, there is a community for pretty much everything - are you a member of the A-Rod's Homeopathic Treatments Club?) about what the definition is of Traditional Mezcal. I think I know where this started, and I am certain it will not end here, but I wanted to throw my hat
- [Mezcal Starter Kit:  Brands, Price Comparisons and More](https://mezcalphd.com/2014/05/mezcal-starter-kit-brands-price-comparisons-and-more/) - I get a lot of emails asking me where to start when it comes to buying a bottle of mezcal. Some are from people looking to dip their toes into the mezcal waters, and others are from people who already know they love mezcal but are looking for that price/value tradeoff. Also, many want to know
- [Mezcal - What You Should Be Drinking Now! (Premium Edition)](https://mezcalphd.com/2015/09/mezcal-what-you-should-be-drinking-now-premium-edition/) - Over a year ago I published the Mezcal Starter Kit, which was intended to be a resource for people who are just beginning their heroic journey into the world of mezcal. So I focused on bottles that started at about $30 and did not list anything beyond $70 a bottle. As that post has been
- [Take The Mezcal Challenge! (Updated With Results Posted Below)](https://mezcalphd.com/2015/04/take-the-mezcal-challenge/) - People ask me all the time how many bottles of mezcal I have. I look around my apartment and I see bottles stashed everywhere: closets, cabinets, laundry room, kitchen, billiard room, parlor, library, conservatory, observation wing, theater, gazebo, tanning room (for hides not skin of course), and even the laboratory! With all these rooms, how
- [Mezcal Marca Negra:  Good Things Are Happening](https://mezcalphd.com/2015/02/mezcal-marca-negra-good-things-are-happening/) - Marca Negra has been around for a few years - guessing that they came into the US market in 2011. I have always liked their super cool funky green bottle with the black hand print running from front to back, and found their mezcals to be really good. The first iteration of the brand was
- [New Mezcal Regulations Are Brewing.....err...Distilling](https://mezcalphd.com/2014/12/new-mezcal-regulations-are-brewing-err-distilling/) - Many people in and around the mezcal world know that "change is a comin'" to the Norma Oficial Mexicana NOM-070-SCFI-1994, which is the law that governs the application of Mezcals' Denomination of Origin - the rules and regulations of mezcal production, certification, classification, regions, labeling and everything else. The law was passed in 1994, and
- [The Sustainability of Agave](https://mezcalphd.com/2014/02/the-sustainability-of-agave/) - I have been wanting to write this post for awhile as a follow up to my Zignum post, but have been slow to get to it. My friends at Mezcalistas recently put up an excellent piece that touches on many economic issues that need to be addressed by the multitude of stakeholders in the mezcal world. Continuing the sustainability

They are likely to make this an annual event so pay attention next year and do what you have to do to get there! It was of the finest collection of mezcals
- [A Mezcal Quest:  El Amor del Diablo Mezcal](https://mezcalphd.com/2014/10/el-amor-del-diablo-mezcal/) - Over the past few months I have been trading emails with Rachel Glueck. She and her husband are living the dream - granted it is not a well-funded dream, but a dream nevertheless. So I am trying to help them out a bit. A friend in need is a friend in need of mezcal (and maybe

I do not work for US Customs. I have not searched with an unrelenting fervor into all the rules and regulations on bringing bottles of booze back into the US from abroad. But I know enough to be dangerous and have several bottle-laden

Or maybe you are the mezcal-crazed one (we are therefore destined to be friends) and you want to introduce and share your passion with the up-and-comers or uneducated? Well, there is no better way to celebrate the holidays than to give or receive some cool mezcal swag! So
- [The Real (Minero) Deal:  Oaxaca Edition (Round 2)](https://mezcalphd.com/2016/08/the-real-minero-deal-oaxaca-edition-round-2/) - Oaxaca is a special place, and there is no better way to enjoy it than to journey out to a palenque (distillery) to see how mezcal is made first hand. Many years ago, when I first began touring palenques I was under the illusion that I was going out there just to see how mezcal

This started when the well-regarded mezcal pioneer Erick Rodriquez referenced a story on Medium about Kimo Sabe. The story has this graphic: The story accompanying this graphic is full of interesting facts - perhaps alternative facts would be more

The Revised 2nd Edition](https://mezcalphd.com/2017/11/its-coming-holy-smoke-its-mezcal-the-revised-2nd-edition/) - I don't know if you are excited, but I sure am! I have been working on the 2nd Edition of Holy Smoke! It's Mezcal! for the better part of 2017, and I am finally getting close to publishing it. While I did not expect it to take this long, it turned out I had a
- [Del Maguey Acquired by Pernod Ricard!!!](https://mezcalphd.com/2017/06/del-maguey-acquired-by-pernod-ricard/) - Wow. Whoa. Holy shit. This week saw HUGE news in the mezcal world. Del Maguey Mezcal was acquired (a majority stake) by spirits industry giant Pernod Ricard. It is shocking, exciting, and troublesome to many as well. I'll take the first two and pass on the third - not troubling to me at all.
- [The 10 Most Expensive Mezcals You Can Buy](https://mezcalphd.com/2016/12/the-10-most-expensive-mezcals-you-can-buy/) - Everybody likes lists. I like lists. I frequently write in lists. You see a headline with "the 10 Longest" or "the 5 Firmest" or "the 50 Best" or whatever it is, and you click on it. And you tend to skip through the preamble (you are likely skipping this now!) and go directly to the
- [Mezcal Brands Found in the U.S.](https://mezcalphd.com/2016/10/mezcal-brands-found-in-the-u-s/) - Updated October 2016 Sadly, it has been a few years since I did a deep dive and thorough update to this list. Yes, I have added a brand here and there, but I have not scoured the web in a few years to see what is really out there. And man have times changed! When
- [Ilegal Travels - Oaxaca Edition](https://mezcalphd.com/2016/02/ilegal-travels-oaxaca-edition/) - Oh man, just back from Oaxaca over MLK weekend and I am brimming with excitement and enthusiasm for what I learned, experienced and drank! I tried rare mezcals, traveled to palenques that I had never been to, ate more chapolines (grasshoppers), tried cicada salt (like sal de gusano but made with cicadas instead), and learned

The Revised 2nd Edition is Now Available!](https://mezcalphd.com/2018/04/holy-smoke-its-mezcal-the-revised-2nd-edition-is-now-available/) - I am excited to have just released the new and improved version of my book: Holy Smoke! It's Mezcal! The Revised 2nd Edition. I think it is bigger, better, and more in-depth than the 1st edition. In fact, I would venture to say that it goes far deeper than any other mezcal book. It's 272

Buy it.](https://mezcalphd.com/2018/04/origen-raiz-mezcal-find-it-buy-it/) - If you are a long time reader of my blog, you are likely aware that I have great respect for the El Jolgorio brand, the family behind it, and how highly they value the tradition and culture of mezcal. The face of the brand is Asis Cortes, and he is well known in mezcal circles
- [One Killer Mezcal Cocktail: The Gardener](https://mezcalphd.com/2018/10/one-killer-mezcal-cocktail-the-gardener/) - I definitely have not posted many cocktail recipes to the blog. This is a personal failing as I have learned over the years mezcal cocktails are a fantastic way to introduce people to the wonderful world of mezcal. And as I am all about spreading the gospel and mezcal education, I should be more proactive
- [Tequila vs. Mezcal](https://mezcalphd.com/2018/11/tequila-vs-mezcal/) - I first published this post in 2012. At the time, mezcal was little known. And while the battle for recognition is still uphill, mezcal is far more popular today than it was back then. Since 2012, mezcal sales are up almost four times, and the vast majority of bars, restaurants and liquor stores, carry at

While Patron may have been the first widely-marketed premium tequila sold in the US, there was nothing like Porfidio in the late '90s to early 2000s. You might not remember the name, but you certainly remember the "Cactus Bottle". It captured the imagination then and

I did not know him and had not heard of Maguey Melate, but then again, new mezcal brands are coming to the U.S. every day so this was not unusual. But as I read what he had to say and looked at their website, I

A lot of things are odd though. For instance, a treadmill has a warning sticker that you should stop if you feel faint or dizzy. But isn't
