Inspiring Mescal a Versatile Native Plant Tale
A Phoenix Herald report recounts mescal derived from maguey, a cactus native to the Southwest and Mexico. The Aztecs used it for cordage, mats, shoes, and food. Spaniards learned pulque from its juice, while modern use creates a strong drink. Maguey matures in seven years, weighs 26 to 50 pounds, with edible roasted layers. Mexico City consumes about 250,000 pints daily.

Mexico spirits and mescal tale from old times
The piece notes Mexico’s ratio of drink preferences with pulque as a national beverage and compares it to wine, beer, and other global drinks. It describes mescal flowers used as honey, plant height, and its domestic architectural use. Mescal distilleries are simple and secretive, not grown north of the line. In Arizona the mescal price has risen over 26 years from $2 per gallon with a yearly $1 maturation premium, while tequila, the higher grade, surpasses $10 per gallon.
