For Luis Jaime Pérez Sánchez, the spirit is a symbol of decades of sweat and passion. • • “We are the fourth generation on both my father’s side and my mother’s side,” he tells Popular Mechanics. “Thanks to the production of mezcal, my family is united. And it is a very good thing because not all families have the fortune to dedicate themselves to the same thing and be united.” • • Mezcal production is much more labor intensive than its margarita-birthing cousin. Whereas tequila is the result of distilling the steamed heart of blue agave plants, mezcal requires more time to harvest, prep, and cook. • The Pappa Doo distillery, named after one of Sánchez’s grandfathers, is about seven hours southeast of Mexico City on a remote palenque in the state of Oaxaca. Eighty five percent of the world’s mezcal production comes from the region, where centuries-old production techniques passed along from their forefathers. One such practice involves drawing juice from the agave fruit through a process called tahona, in which a burro pulls a large stone over the chopped-up leaves. And unlike other mass production distilleries, this palenque uses copper piping. • • #madehere #mezcal #madeinmexico #tequila #oaxaca • -------------------------------------- • Facebook: / popularmecha. . • Twitter: / popmech • Instagram: / popularmech. . • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/popmech/?au...
