“Rising Popularity of Premium and Artisanal Mezcal”
The mezcal market is witnessing a significant trend toward premium and artisanal products. Consumers are increasingly seeking high-quality, handcrafted mezcals that emphasize traditional production methods, local ingredients, and unique flavor profiles. For instance, in July 2023, Mala Mia Mezcal made its debut in the spirits sector with the launch of four distinct mezcal expressions: Espadín, Ensamble, Cuishe, and Tepeztate. Each expression is crafted from a specific type of agave, allowing for a rich variety of flavors and aromas. This innovative approach ensures a diverse tasting experience, showcasing the unique characteristics of each agave plant and offering consumers a broader exploration of mezcal.
