Join us for an unforgettable evening of exploration and flavor at our Agave Spirits Tasting, where we'll delve into the rich tradition and craftsmanship behind tequila, mezcal, and other agave-based spirits.

What Makes Agave Spirits Unique?

  • The Star Ingredient: Agave is a succulent native to Mexico, with over 200 species. Tequila is made exclusively from blue Weber agave, while mezcal can be made from various types of agave, including espadín, tobala, and tepeztate.
  • Tequila vs. Mezcal: While both are distilled from agave, tequila is typically cooked in ovens or autoclaves, whereas mezcal is traditionally made by roasting the agave in underground pits, imparting its signature smoky flavor.
  • The Aging Process: Agave spirits are categorized by aging styles. Blanco (or silver) spirits are unaged, reposado rests in barrels for 2–12 months, and añejo ages for over a year, creating a rich and complex profile.

Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning to explore the world of agave spirits, this tasting is a chance to enhance your palate and discover the depth of Mexican culture in every sip.

Bring your curiosity and prepare for a journey through Mexico's agave fields to your glass. Salud! Call 850-224-0650 for reservations; confirmed reservations will be billed.
