Carrizo means reed and can be used in two different contexts in mezcal. The most common usage is for the reed attached to the cuchara which transmits mezcal out of small chamber stills. Carrizo can also be used to describe the reed used to check the ABV of mezcal. (More commonly, venencia is the term used for the reed in that context.)
