What is Tuxca?
from Heritage Mezcal Hosted by Edwin Mayoral, Chava Peribán, Roy Sierra
There are a multitude of different names that people use to call agave spirits around Mexico. The most prominent ones are obviously Tequila and Mezcal. But if you travel a bit more you'll find names like Tepe, Ixcateco, Minero, Bacanora, Raicilla and so on and so on. Tuxca is one of those names. But I find that currently there is a good amount of misinformation about the origin and history of such a name. So I decided to invite Edwin, who is currently making his doctoral thesis about historical tabernas, to give us a little bit more insights into what Tuxca really means. Please welcome Edwin Mayoral, and his passion for vino de cocos y vino de mezcal.
