MEZCAL + TEQUILA EXPERIENCES

Picture
Want to dive into the fascinating world of mezcal? Already a mezcal obsessive? You might be excited to learn there is a dedicated Mezcal tasting available in Cartagena? Here's the info.
​

MEZCAL EXPERIENCE + DISTILLATION

Price: 210,000 pesos pp
Duration: 90 minutes

This experience is designed to open up the doors to a history more ancient and hidden than tequila. 
Starting with a signature cocktail to welcome you, the experience will begin by analyzing the exotic agave plant, looking at its morphology, history and the processes that convert it into the ancient distillate called mezcal.
You will try the honey made from agave, then continue with an explanation of the process of fermentation using an agave ferment. From here, you will follow all the steps to distill your own mezcal using this ferment and will try and compare the different alcohol produced in each of the three parts of the distillation process. You will then proceed to prepare your senses for the mezcal tasting with a taste-board of flavors selected to stimulate. 
During the tasting you will note and describe the aromas and flavours found in each of the five Mezcals as your host explains a little of the origin and characteristics of each one. 

You can choose any day or start time for the experience, subject to availability.

TEQUILA EXPERIENCE + DISTILLATION

Picture
Price: 170,000 pesos pp
Duration: 90 minutes

If tequila is more to your taste, the tequila experience and distillation follows the same structure as that of the Mezcal, starting with signature cocktails and getting to know the agave plant. Here you will however focus particularly on the origins and history of Tequila and how it came to be synonymous with Mexico and a distillate that only 5 Mexican states are officially permitted to elaborate. 
As above, you will learn the full process, and will distill your own tequila from the fermentation of agave. You will learn and taste and compare the three alcohols in the process of distillation (the head, the heart, the tail). You will then, with the help of the flavour-board, prepare your senses for the tequilas on taste. You can choose to taste either tequilas blancos or reposados or a combination as your host will lead a discussion of the origins and characteristics of each one. 

This experience can be booked for any start time and on any day, subject to availability. Send us an email to info@cartagenaconnections.com or use the form below to submit your enquiry. 

IF TEQUILA + MEZCAL AREN'T YOUR THING, WE ALSO HAVE RUM, GIN AND COCKTAIL EXPERIENCES!
