Mezcal, just like tequila, have been long labaled as ordinary alcoholic drinks; however, after studies conducted in Chicago Illinois, these beverages are now considered the best in the world for human consumption.
According to this scientific study, of all the liquors, wines and spirits that exist around the globe, the most perfect for human consumption is the Mexican Mezcal.
“This is basically because it is the most perfect alcohol in the world”, declared Sergio Inurrigarro, president of the Mezcal Pro Culture Association and Mezcal Ambassador to the world.

Inurrigarro indicated that both mezcal and tequila were considered as common alcohols. But recently, this Chicago based institute, which is dedicated to conducting organoleptic scientific and sensory studies on beers, wines and higher alcohols, concluded that Mezcal is the undisputed most pure alcoholic beverage in the world.
He explained that alcohols are monosaccharides that the liver has to break, that is, a process to transform and remove it from the human body; hence the effect commonly known as “hangover” most alcoholic drinks cause, in different levels of intensity.
Mezcal comes from polysaccharides that at the time of touching the mouth begin to unfold and the transformation of alcohol in the body is faster than any other. In fact, the ancient Mexicans used to consume agave even before corn.
“We are one of the pivotal nations in the world and consider our second class products. Mezcal’s main consumer is the United States, followed by Russia, Chile, Australia, and Germany,” Sergio Inurrigarro concluded.
