"If you really love mezcal, you must visit Mezcaloteca while you’re in Oaxaca. Book a tasting room in advance and learn how to taste traditional mezcals, how they’re made, and get a primer on the different agaves used. There are no brands here—only the products of around 120 mezcal masters. " - liliana lopez, kylie han

"Discovering Mezcal Just down the street from where we stayed in Oaxaca there was a mezcal bar called Mezcaloteca. It was staffed by one woman, very studiously sharing her love of mezcal. She poured us a tasting of three different mezcals into the little gourd cups: an espadin, a madrecuixe, and a tobala—all different agave plants, different producers. She told us how to warm up our mouths with the spirit, how to rub a little bit between our fingers to get the aromas. She didn't need to tell us how to drink it; that we knew. Reforma No. 506, Col.
