Snap it. The deck brings the rest.

  • A story slide with an agave plant photo, a surprising local fact and the maker's history

    The story behind it

    Who made it, how, and one fact to steal for small talk.

  • A map of Oaxaca's Central Valleys with numbered pins and Santiago Matatlán labeled

    Where it's from

    A live map flies you to the town or farm.

  • A maker sets a cross of wildflowers on a sealed earthen pit where the agave roasts

    How it's made

    Field to glass, step by step, from roast to rest.

  • The nose quiz slide, a list of aroma notes to pick from

    What's in your glass

    Sniff, pick the notes you get. Half of them are traps.

  • A results slide splitting real notes from traps, with the science behind citrus zest

    Why it smells like that

    The chemistry behind every real note, and why the traps fooled you.

  • A meet-the-bottle slide with strength, agave and style, and a quesillo pairing

    What to pair it with

    A snack picked from its flavors, plus a palate reset.

  • Four mezcal and tequila bottles lined up on a glass table

    The right order

    Lightest pour first, boldest last, so nothing drowns out the next glass.

  • A ridged glass of mezcal on a green clay plate with orange slices and salted peanuts
