Connoisseurs of Mezcal and service industry personnel endeavor to understand the multifaceted nature of mezcal, from the agave itself to the final distilled product. Over the last few decades, Mezcal has exploded in popularity, with more and more brands becoming available outside of Mexico. This has allowed the Mezcal professional as well as the enthusiast be exposed to more and more exciting varieties of Agave spirits.

Master Mezcalier Level I classes are currently being taught in English in the historic city of New Orleans. New Orleans is the home of the cocktail, and visitors to the city will find many establishments dedicated to the history of spirits and cocktails.
