Mezcal is a traditional Mexican distilled spirit made from the agave plant, primarily produced in Oaxaca and other regions of Mexico. Mezcal may be created from a variety of agave species, which gives it a wider spectrum of flavors than tequila, which is solely prepared from blue agave. Its production involves roasting the agave hearts (piñas) in underground pits, which imparts a distinctive smoky flavor. Mezcal is known for its artisanal methods, often handcrafted in small batches using centuries-old techniques. It is consumed neat or in cocktails, valued for its complex taste, cultural heritage, and growing appeal among consumers seeking authentic, craft spirits.

The market's strong growth is being driven by consumers' growing desire for flavored and unusual agave spirits.

Manufacturers rely heavily on raw materials, particularly Mexican-grown agave plants. Mexico's smaller agave plant cultivation area may result in a shortage of raw materials for mezcal production, which would impede market expansion in the years to come. Due to their reliance on single-crop farming and high-yield raw materials, mezcal producers must use a lot of pesticides, which reduces genetic diversity. Significant waste is produced by this process, especially when vinasse is disposed of, which contaminates land and water and creates ecological dead zones. Unpredictable weather patterns that affect agave plant output, such as erratic rainfall, elevated temperatures, and harsh circumstances, also pose a threat to the market and could hinder its expansion.

The growing demand for unusual and distinctively flavored agave drinks has led to a recent period of stable growth in the global market. Mezcal and other agave spirits have become increasingly popular as consumers look for distinctive and varied products in the distilled beverages market.
