GuerreroMezcal(700ml)

Sans Mezcal is tequila’s daddy and has been made by indigenous Mexican peoples since the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th Century. Oaxaca (pronounced wa-HA-ka), remains the traditional centre for mezcal making in Mexico, as defined by the Official Mexican Standard and protected by the International Appellation of Origin. Mezcal is one of the important drinks of rustic, rural Oaxaca – the traditional toast of choice at ceremonial occasions such as baptisms, weddings and town fiestas. Tequila, on the other hand, is a regional form of mezcal. Originally known as mezcal de Tequila, it was abbreviated in the 1950’s to Tequila by distillers in Jalisco State (originally in the town of Tequila) to distinguish it from other lesser-known agave distillates, such as Sotol from Chihuahua and Bacanora from Sonora.
