A very informative Agave guide.
Absolutely fantastic book. Very informative. David never disappointed me with any of his tequila products or projects.

Good book with good facts
I’m in the tequila industry and I’ve learned a ton. Very detailed and a lot of passion in the writing. Great read for an immersion into the agave culture, the mexican culture and the good and bad of the explosion in the tequila and mezcal industry

Best Agave Spirits Book Out There
The most comprehensive and thoughtful agave sprits book I have come across so far! This is a critical material for anyone who is an agave enthusiast or hospitality professional that wants to learn more about tequila, mezcal, and other agave distillates. The book covers wide ranging subjects from the biology and distribution of agaves to fermentation, distillation, and their cultural significance to the people who make them. 10/10

Industry Standard
As a Mezcal producer, I have now purchased four of these books for my team members. The information is current and complete. This should be considered the new standard reading material for all in the agave industry.

Rambling and repetitive, but overall really informative
This book contained a lot of fascinating facts and information on agave plants, the process of making distilled spirits from them, and the history and culture surrounding them in Mexico and around the world. Lower than usual rating is due to pacing and the rambling/repetitive nature of some of the longer passages, but overall I enjoyed this book and will reference it in the future as a great resource!

This is an excellent book on the subject. I have read many books on tequila and mescal, and can say that this book is the perfect combination of entertaining, informative and academic. There was lots of information in this book that I had not previously read elsewhere, and I think that it is a great book for anybody interested in the subject.Highly recommend
