The agave plant was never destined to become tasteless, cheap
tequila. Follow Gary Nabhan and David Suro Pinera on the trail with
archaeologists and botanists to caves where 9,000-year-old remains
of agaves have been found, and then fast track to the 1990s, the
peak of the "margarita craze," before a deadly cocktail of microbes
devastated blue agave plants on Mexican lands. Culled from decades
of fieldwork and interviews with mezcaleros in eight Mexican
states, Agave Spirits reveals the stunning innovations emerging
today across the mezcal supply chain and offers solutions for
improving sustainability and equity. Thousands of years of
tradition are inspiring a new generation of individuals (including
women), with an explosion of cutting-edge science pointing a way
forward for the betterment of the drink and the lives of the people
who create it. Agave Spirits boldly delights in the most flavourful
and memorable spirits humankind has ever sipped and savoured.
