Agave Angustifolia
If you've had mezcal in the US prior to 2010, it's likely you had Espadín, or Agave Americana Angustifolia. It's even difficult to name examples of mezcals that weren't Espadín-based and available in the early 2000's (Del Maguey Tobala is the only one we can think of). It is easy to understand why - Espadín is the perfect agave to showcase the artistry of the traditional mezcal process. It is bold enough to balance mezcal's earthy, smokey flavor but is also a hearty plant easily cultivated by mezcaleros.

Agave Americana (Oaxacensis)
The species Agave Americana variety Oaxacensis is rarely found in US, typically only found as mezcal from the Arroqueño plant. It is a giant plant, growing up to 10 feet wide and dwarfing mezcaleros whom care for it for up to 20 years. Similarly, mezcals produced from this plants also have giant flavors of blue cheese, citrus, and other intense qualities. This species is found most commonly in Oaxaca and Puebla, but we've visited Jalisco mezcaleros who are producing a local spirit, Tuxca, from them as well.

Agave Cupreata
A squattier agave with large, fat leaves, the cupreata is a treasured agave in the states of Michoacán and Guerrero where it grows wild and is cultivated from seed by a few mezcaleros. It also grows in a small region of Oaxaca called the Mixteca Alta region. Among the most beautiful agaves, the Cupreata has delicate, bright quality that is fruity and floral. It is also named "Papalomé" in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, after the butterfly (papalotl). Rare in the US, the availability of mezcals produced from Cupreata may depend largely on the stability of the Michoacán and Guerrero states.

Agave Marmorata
Rivaling Chartreuse in expressively herbal flavors, these mezcals are oddballs. Scattered across the landscapes of Oaxaca, Morelos, the State of México, Puebla, Michoacán, and bordering Jalisco and Colima to the west and Veracruz to the east, Marmorata has a wide distribution throughout central Mexico. However, the most commonly distilled varietal of Marmorata, Tepeztate, remains uncommon because of its larger size and tendency to grow at high altitudes. Some Tepeztates may even take 25+ years to reach maturity.

Agave Karwinskii
Rare biologically and in the bottle, Agave Karwinskii is not for everyone. Structured different than other agave species, the Agave Karwinwkii's piña grows upright on top of short stalk of denser piña composition. Both the piña and stalk may be harvested, roasted, and fermented together. Because of this elongated body, the Karwinskii has a less rounded and fruity piña, resulting in mezcals that are extremely dry and tannic, especially when stalks are included in the process. Found in a very limited geographic region of Oaxaca and Puebla, these agaves are uncommon, but quickly gathering a cult following among mezcal freaks worldwide.

The species have a preference for foothills and pine forests.

Agave Potatorum
Potato rum? Sounds good to us, but Agave Potatorum is actually the biological classification of perhaps the nobalist of agaves - Tobalá! Sweet, complex and with a finish you'll taste tomorrow. One taste of tobalá is often an awakening moment for newcomers to mezcal. Rare because of their preference for shady and rocky terrain, Tobalá can be difficult to find. But, the perseverence of Tobalá should be inspiring - their roots can even break through limestone rock! Their small size yields very little precious mezcal to go around, however. So sip sparingly and with respect...Tobalá is a privledge.

Agave Tequilana
Most notably known for the production of tequila, Agave Tequilana is also distilled by mezcaleros with traditional mezcal processes, creating a spirit that more accurately resembles a predecesor to today's modern tequilas. The Tequilana Weber-based mezcals from Oaxaca are particularly interesting, since the species does not naturally grow in the state but was introduced over the past few decades to meet demand for tequila production in Jalisco. Since Oaxaca is not one of 5 states licensed to produce tequila, such previous activity was illegal and indicative of the industry hypocrisy.

Ensambles
The Ensamble is an art rather than an agave. It's a technique used by the most skilled mezcaleros that allows them to assemble different agave varietals prior to roasting for one single batch. It's their knowledge of the raw material and the way it reacts to all the different stages of production in conjunction with the conceptualization of the final product that really gives them the ability to be brave, instinctual and masters of their craft. and somehow create something beautiful all at the same time.

Raicilla
Raicilla is simply another term for mezcal used in the Western portion of Jalisco. Many will try to more specifically define this mezcal as an agave spirit that is separate from mezcal, but this is neither legally correct or an accurate way of thinking of the spirit. Some will say that is made from a specific agave, but like all agaves it is produced from many local agaves. Other will say it is sour. This may be because of the humid environment and resulting bacteria activity in the area. Again, all mezcals are impacted by their environment. Simply put, raicilla is mezcal by a different name.

Bacanora & Sotol
Bacanora is a legally recognized agave spirit from the State of Sonora. Traditionally, it is crafted in a manner similar to mezcal, and the terroir from the region results in a spirits that is frequently acidic. Sotol, on the other hand, is not technically an agave spirit - It is a an Agavaceae, or cousin of agave, and it has a intensely grassy flavor unique to this spirit. It is formally recognized in the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Durango.

Pechuga & Distillery Infusions
"Pechuga" is mezcal that is infused with fruits and spices and re-distilled with a piece of meat, most commonly chicken breast suspended in the still. The suspended breast or other meat acts as a natural filter the mezcal passes through and balances the fruit and other spices. While this may sound unusual, it is reflective of the nature of the mezcalero as a farmer. Today, as mezcal becomes a more global spirit, the concept of infusing and redistilling mezcal is an ongoing experiment with other tasty results.

Tequila
Tequila, the most well-known of agave spirits, is made from the Tequilana Weber, or Blue Agave, species of agave. Traditionally, the pinas of the plant are roasted in brick ovens, crushed, fermented, and distilled. Like any agave plant, the area in which the Blue Agaves are grown has a significant impact on their flavor. We only serve tequilas at The Pastry War from producers firmly devoted to tradition. Blanco Tequilas are unaged. Reposados are aged between two months and a year. Añejo tequilas are aged between one anf three years, and Extra Añejos are aged for longer than three years.
