Agave and the misunderstanding – what to expect

Did you know that agaves are not cacti, but rather belong to the asparagus family? That every tequila is a mezcal – but not every mezcal is a tequila? And that there's mezcal that's refined with chicken breast? At the Mezcal & Tequila Tasting in Hamburg Let's clear up the biggest misunderstandings surrounding the agave – and replace them with stories you won't soon forget.

When did these spirits originate, how are they made, and why is mezcal currently redefining the bar scene? Marc takes you on a journey from the agave fields of Oaxaca to the world's best bars – vibrant, entertaining, and with genuine depth.

You can also find out more about the fascinating history of mezcal in our Blog post on the history of Mezcal.

How does the agave tasting in Hamburg work?

The start

Marc will welcome you with an aperitif cocktail with a special connection to the history of Mezcal and Tequila – and will take you straight to Oaxaca, the famous place of origin for many high-quality Mezcals. The first story of the evening is already waiting in the glass.

Three tequilas, three mezcals – six stories

Later in the evening, you will taste three unique tequilas and three mezcals – from fresh Blanco to spicy Reposado. You'll learn all about agave varieties, distillation methods, and the difference between industrial and artisanal production. Why is the well-known „The one with the red hat“ considered inferior? We'll clear things up.

Did you know that some mezcals are made in traditional clay ovens – and there are even varieties infused with chicken breast (Pechuga)? And what's the deal with the worm? You'll find all this out during this experience – with genuine storytelling that sticks with you.

The conclusion

To round things off, there will be a final farewell drink. In between, there will be finger food consisting of bread, olives, and crisps. Afterwards, you will receive a handout via email with the most important facts about Mezcal and Tequila.

How long does the tasting last?

The evening lasts approximately 3 hours – sometimes a little longer depending on the group and the dynamics of the conversation. It's better to plan generously.

Whether mineral, floral or fruity – when Mezcal & Tequila Tasting in Hamburg find your style. And then understand why agave is redefining the bar world.

Which mezcals and tequilas will be tasted?

When selecting the six agave spirits, we focus on the full spectrum – different styles, agave species, and production methods. Because no tequila is the same as another, and no mezcal is the same as the next.

  • Tequila Blanco Fresh, clear, straight from the agave – the purest expression of the Blue Agave.
  • Tequila Reposado Matured in a barrel, with more depth and warmth – the compromise between freshness and complexity.
  • Mezcal from the clay oven Handcrafted, smoky and unmistakable – the most authentic expression of agave.

We will explain the myth of the worm, why agave spirits have become trend drinks in the USA – and why the „red hat“ is not to be found in any serious bar.
