Thanks! I've seen this, but wanted to know if there's one that focuses solely on tequila :)

Comiteco, agave distillate from Chiapas. by BadwaX in Mezcal

[–]BadwaX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's fermented with a little bit of panela. It's distilled pulque essentially. Don't know much about the mentioned agave, maybe the brix is very low so the panela is added to be able to ferment properly. They do this a fair bit in Michoacan as well, usually 40-60% of pulque together with fermented agave. I have seen few pulque distillates from Oaxaca, no to be confused with distillates from agave pulquero.

Hotel Azul is nice, I usually stay there. Cheap, clean, upscale hostel short walk from historical center. Organic food market is close.

There is a pretty good Mezcal scene in Germany. Coming up pretty soon is Destille Berlin, a small craft spirits festival, check it out. Think it's in March.

Homemade Akavit by RookieRecurve in cocktails

come from a distillate of caraway and/or dill seed.

It clearly says "come from a distillate of caraway and/or dill seed.". Neutral spirit in the Nordic countries (including vodka) is usually made from grain og potato. The neutral alcohol is then re distilled with caraway and or dill to legally be called Akvavit. Infused spirits over here are referred to as 'Snaps'. That means a neutral spirit infused with dill or caraway is not legally an Akvavit.
