Mezcalistas
The World of Mezcal
Churique is the local name for Agave shrevei in Chihuahua. Ricardo Pico, who created Clande Sotol, told me that “the mezcal made from Churique is called Lechugilla” which translates to “a small head of lettuce.” Like many agaves, local names vary by region.
Max co-founded Mezcalistas with Susan way back in 2012. Before that he was a journalist at Salon.com and The San Francisco Chronicle.
