The agave plant. Tequila is made from the agave, pronounced 'Uh-Gah-Vee'. A native plant to Mexico, its name originates from a Greek word meaning 'noble' or 'admirable'. In Mexico the plant is also sometimes referred to as 'Maguey' (pronounced 'mag-gay').
Mezcal is widely known for the agave âwormâ (or gusano) that floats toward the bottom of the bottle. It is primarily a marketing gimmick to help boost sales, especially in the United States and in Asia. In fact, it is not a âwormâ at all, but one of two insect larvae (a caterpillar of a night butterfly or the larvae of the agave snout weevil) that can infest yucca and agave plants. Tequila never (ever!) has a worm in the bottle. Now that a few things are cleared up, you can now explain the differences between mezcal and tequila to anyone who is befuddled by the two. If you still are baffled, just try them! The unparalleled flavors will definitely speak for themselves.
