Demand for mezcal was low for years, but interest and sales have soared. The vast majority of the spirit is made in Oaxaca, Mexico, where family-owned distilleries dot the landscape.

Bravo. Mezcla is an ancestral drink I love. As a Mexican person I like these kind of report that explains culture.
💚💚💚
Oaxaca, un sitio especial
Ahem!! 7:13 “Boston George, El Americano, late 60s”.😅🍻
Still haven’t tried a Mescal I can drink straight
Hold on.. so the white guy went to Oaxaca, found mezcal, bought it, made a contract and sold it for $100M???
I hope the ones doing the work got most of that money… I would’ve rather buy it from the makers instead of Bacardi… 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
and surprisingly! the best mezcals ive tasted are the uncertified mezcals. Real Minero and 5 Sentidos in this video are some of the best mezcals… oops, i mean destilados de agave on the market today！beats the thousands of brands with a `mezcal´ on the label 😎
I guess you haven't been to Kentucky for a while. Distillers there produce 143 million per year
What worms?!!! They’re caterpillars.
Cecilia Vega. What a MlLF!!
Oaxaca is a beautiful place.
More work for their people, less will leave their homes. Good luck with their business.
Only an ignorant fool liked Trumpf will, in his pathetic ignorance, insult people like these beautiful people.
Vote 🗳 blue for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Sooomebody is really enjoying her job right now.
I seriously learned a lot.. thank you
Tequila is not mezcal……
I always like Tequila more; I don’t get the hype. Tequila is “cleaner” and simpler tasting; Mezcal is more complex. I think I haven’t had a good one so I’ll make sure to get a taste of the good stuff
Can’t wait for a western company to buy all the land, plant a million plants, suck out all of the water out of the ground and charge the same for mezcal 🤦🏻♂️.
Mezcal is a smooth liquor. I had some when I was like 10 years old lol. And it tasted weird. But I started drinking it in my 20s and I like it a lot, especially with a slice of orange and sal de gusano (worm salt). 🔥
I love that the trend seekers are going to Mezcal. Let's me sip my "boring/corporate" tequila in peace.
VIVA MEXICO !!!!!!
Mezcal has nutritional value as well. Claro que todo en moderaciòn. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
Sadly tourism is hurting Oaxaca, bc ppl do NOT respect the locals & expect them cater to tourism idea vs a tourist open to REALLY learn to appreciate the history, the ppl, the life, the food & all that should NOT change. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
But it's not family owned…thats a letdown.
You can't be selling off your natural products or business to foreignners they dont care about the family or culture just profits and quantity. Thats why Mexico can't grow.
