What's in your mouth Chicago? A blind tasting of agave spirits - Chicago, IL

  • Charis Listening Bar 3317 South Morgan Street Chicago, IL 60608 United States (map)

Think you know agave? Join Mezcalistas on Saturday, April 26th at 12pm as we blindly taste our way through six different agave spirits. Led by agave head Khrys Maxwell and Susan Coss of Mezcalistas, this is a deep, yet approachable dive into the incredibly diverse world of agave distillates.

What's in your mouth is not a qualitative tasting but rather one geared to help us understand why flavors vary so much in the world of agave. We focus on process- how the agave was cooked, how it was distilled- where it is from and what kind of agave was used and that influences flavors. This is a fun tasting for aficionados as well as newbies because it is all about understanding what creates the underlying flavors. The "winner" receives a very special and unique bottle of distilled agave.

This is a 21+ event.
