For a niche of agave spirit connoisseurs, an agave distillate is often highly regarded when it remains closely connected to ancestral production practices rather than being shaped by regulations driven by geopolitical or economic motivations. These spirits place greater emphasis on the producers, their families, and centuries old traditions, allowing greater freedom to collaborate with makers who maintain established production standards. Rather than seeking to produce mezcal under the official regulatory framework, many producers prefer to remain within the agave distillate category, where they can preserve their traditional methods and continue producing spirits according to their longstanding practices.
