Mezcal Is The Fastest-Growing Liquor In The US. Why Aren't Mexican Producers Cashing In?

What a patience growing this plants! Fvck corruption which destroyed this industry.

Compared to 100% blue agave tequila, mezcal tastes like crap.

Buying Mezcal supports the Cartels. They own all the farms and distribution.

That’s why whenever I go to Mexico I make sure I buy bottles from local stands that aren’t always international.
1) You help locals feed their family and help keep tradition alive
2) It goes down smoother and tastes better than whatever well known brand you can think of
3) You’re able to take it back home and flex on your houseguests after offering them a shot of the best mezcal or tequila they’ve ever had

Let the crafters craft. I enjoy the purity of the land.

That farmer needs a cash app

El Salvador here. My family switched from making alcohol from corn to making ropes out of the agave leaves. I'm not sure if they were aware of what they could have done with the piña.
We call agave "mezcal" and it is not a Mexican plant, it's a mesoamerican one just like chocolate, corn, and advocado.

placing an order today.....hope my wife doesn't find out.

It's happening because America open borders they come here make money and demand goes up

I used to go Guararajaja 😅 Mexico n go to the tequila plantation to learn how it made . Brought myself some blue bottle back to gifts . It was pretty neat to learn how they made n process.. I can’t tell much of a difference from this or tequila

Please translate it all por favor

See what happens when the government gets involved... 😡

It is good when it goes down but it could give a tremendous hangover if you abuse it . More than other known spirits like whiskey or vodka

Nobody wants this garbage liquor

There are just more Mexicans in the US than before.

Alcohol is shit. It causes more car accidents and fighting and spousal abuse and destroys families more than any other substance in America.

Aztec /Mayan Mezcal

The international brands that buy the product and then turn around and sell it for three times as much are shameless.

What a cool ass plant

*
The ability of Edgar and fellow distillers to determine the distillation day of agave simply through taste is truly impressive.*

How do we donate to this small business?

Nope I don't touch it , its not good for you

better than fentanyl?

piña in the Philippines are Pineapples

That’s crazy people who traditionally make this beverage for generations now how to get a certification to make them legit .

Mescal is a Mexican heritage jewel,why is the USA brewing this , when mexico should have strong rules and laws to preserve this only in mexico and from there do business with who ever wants to buy our land products

The Dons now have a different name.

Governments keeping the poor, poor.

Two cups of mezcal on an empty stomach every morning is crazy lol

So basically you can't make this at home is my takeway😢😅

Americans are going to steal this too.

I don’t drink Mezcal but I’m down for buying directly to give the money to the people at work rather than to the celebrities.

Esta bien pendejo el gobierno mexicano. Por eso estamos tan jodidos

Misleading title, Aren't should be restored for won't... Cave in to foreign demand and lose our plants forever.

mexican producers aren't cashing in cause they're too busy cashing in on the drug trade rofl

What is the one made from payotti, the one that made me see pink elephants and other real trippy shit? I recall it had a grub with a pillow case on a stick. Worm in the bottom. Illegal in canada

I was today yesrs old when I found out Ilegal Mezcal is owned by a Guatemalan Company🤯

❤❤❤❤

I swear, every single one of these videos starts with a wholesome cultural tradition of preparing something with vigorous or labor intensive methods. Second half of the videos are some other entity/company/country abusing the reselling of the product at 5 to 10x what they pay while the ones producing are making a fraction of what they should. It's really sickening the way the world works.

Tequila is to mexico as corruption is to china

"Hand-crafted" shows feet

El mejor mezcal es PERLA DEL RÍO, vasta ya succiones....

mic muk er moddha dukai kotha bol.!!!

"mezcals value rose 50% in 2021"

hunny, everything went up 50% in 2021.

It's simple really, if it ain't artisanal it ain't good mezcal.

My grandma rest her soul used to make Mezcal all the time. She or my grandpa were not much drinkers, but they used it for medicinal purposes. She would always send some to our family here is the U.S. or when she came to visit. We would take shots of it and man that stuff was pure clean but strong. The stuff they sell as Mezcal, most of it is pure crap. The process in this video shows you the art of making mezcal. Only purists or someone who has made it, can easily distinguish a good mezcal from something sold as "Mezcal." Like everything else that was made by poor people for poor people, eventually it becomes mainstream, and some greedy individuals or corporations will try to scale it and bring it up in price. There's always hipster willing to pay a lot. That will only drive the price up. It's both good and bad, depending on which end of the spectrum you're in.

I love her fire and spirit. You can tell this is a very important product and practice to her. I fibd tgat level of love and importance beautiful.

i would love to see other countries adopt making this
