@@P2036 thanks so much! I’m just a guide and the stars of the show are the distillers and what’s in the bottle. Cheers and thanks for taking the time to comment. -Jeff
Just been binge watching your work in the last couple of days and am now subscribed. Very good and interesting. Maybe in the future you can have a look at the traditional alcoholic beverages of Asia especially in the Philippines. One, 'tuba', is also popular in parts of Mexico. There are also: lambanog, basi, tapuy, bais, bugnay etc...
@@ememe1412 thanks so much for the comment and I appreciate the feedback. I will definitely look into more traditional beverages as you stated. Cheers and thanks for the sub and support. Cheers, -Jeff
Thank you for sharing this well made video! I always enjoy and appreciate the effort you put to make your videos (even doing an interview in Spanish)! Cheers to you guys! BTW, no bottle sharing with your host in the end?😁
Hahahahhaha no bottle sharing but the Navarro family enjoyed some peated whisky for the first time. It was an amazing experience and yes, my Spanish is a bit rusty! Of course my Scottish and English is too. Hahahaha. Cheers
@@drinkdestinations I wonder how much gets into the final product. With all the talk about Phthalates and Microplastics, I see advantages to industrial stainless steel production over tarps.
@@VanillaAttila it’s a great observation, the question then becomes how hot do those tarps need to be to exchange or add and chemical component to the agave?
@@drinkdestinations considering water bottles leach at room temperature and these tarps tend to degrade into powder in just the sunlight I'd say it's getting hot enough to leach. Question is if the distillation process removes all the contamination.
Love the filming and editing on this you really get a feel from each shot

Gezz that's a lot of work, thanks Jeff and Team.
A lot of work a lot of agave for such a small amount in the grand scheme of things. Cheers and thanks for taking the time to comment. -Jeff

Finally the wait is over…good to see the video and amazingly filmed, edited and great work..🥃🥃
Thanks so much and I appreciate your support as always. Couldn’t do this without you! -Jeff
This is another amazing video! WOW! I never knew all the variations and hard work behind Mezcal! Thank you so much for sharing this! 🥃😉
So glad you enjoyed it and yes it makes Mezcal so complex and it can be difficult to understand .
Love mezcal. The link to Islay whisky means it's like a whole new intro to similar flavours
I love Mezcal also! So many different varieties, processes and terroirs that make this one of the most complex spirits in the world.
Which one(s) would you recommend for a total noob? I enjoy Scotch a lot but never tried mezcal.

What are the tarps made of that they covered the roasting process with before burying with dirt?
From my knowledge They are woven reinforced polyethylene or polypropylene tarp.

I just spent the last five months traveling through Mainland Mexico. I learned a crap ton about Mezcal. But apparently there’s still more to learn.
I hear ya! I spent the last year in Mexico and feel like I’m just scratching the surface on Mezcal.
