S3.C1: The wisdoms of mezcal

Yes! Elixir of the Gods is back for a new season! Over the year we have recorded some (in our view) very insightful and enlightening conversations, but for this one we just wanted to have a good time.

Zoomin’, talkin’ and tastin’

In this chapter you will find out more about the upcoming season and we are enjoying a carefully selected flight together – even though we recorded in two different places.
We will release a new episode every two weeks from now on.

In the coming chapters we will have guests, most of them from Mexico, amongst them an enthusiast, a librarian a story teller and two Sotoleros. We keep their names a secret for now 🙂

We are also looking for people who have experience in glass ageing and have expert knowledge about Bacanora.

Spirits tasted:

Derrumbes San Luis Potosi
This beauty is a 2004 Real Minero bottle from Don Lorenzo himself (Ensemble Espadin, Largo, Tripon, Barril)

La Venenosa Puntas. Not the first time and probably not the last time we are having this one on the show.

And last but not least: “the cabinet”:

S2.C3: Mezcal & Tequila – with Sergio Mendoza from Derrumbes and Don Fulano

Our guest Sergio “Cache” Mendoza takes us to Mexico with his poetic words and his passion. In a conversation respectful to the brothers Tequila and Mezcal we also learned that there used to be five levels to describe the maturity of agave plants. Recorded at Bar Convent Berlin (please excuse the background noise).
