At TheCru.ie, we’re proud to bring you an exceptional range of tequila and mezcal—two iconic agave spirits from Mexico that each offer a unique flavour profile and deep cultural heritage.
What’s the Difference Between Tequila and Mezcal?
While all tequila is technically a type of mezcal, they are distinct spirits. Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave (agave tequilana) and must be produced in Jalisco or designated regions of Mexico. In contrast, mezcal is crafted from over 40 varieties of agave like espadín, tobalá, and tepeztate.
The production process truly sets them apart:
Tequila: Piñas are typically steamed in brick ovens or industrial autoclaves, creating a smooth, clean, and vibrant flavour profile.
Mezcal: Piñas are roasted in earthen pits lined with stones and wood, resulting in that signature, complex smoky and earthy finish.
