Book Synopsis



GANADOR DEL PREMIO JAMES BEARD 2024

LA PLANTA DE AGAVE NUNCA ESTUVO DESTINADA A CONVERTIRSE EN UNA BEBIDA DESTILADA INSÍPIDA Y BARATA...

Todos los tequilas son mezcales. Todos los mezcales se elaboran a partir de agaves. Y cada botella de mezcal es el resultado extraordinario de colaboraciones entre emprendedores del agave, botánicos, destiladores, distribuidores de bebidas, bartenders y entusiastas. Este fascinante libro del reconocido etnobotánico Gary Paul Nabhan y el pionero restaurantero David Suro Piñera explora la conexión entre todos ellos.

La destilación del agave es parte ciencia y parte arte. Alma de agave muestra cómo los métodos tradicionales de producción de mezcal están inspirando a una nueva generación de entusiastas de los destilados del agave. Remontándose a una tradición ancestral, los autores comparten su experiencia para entender la historia detrás de una botella del emblemático destilado de México, e invitan al lector a un viaje apasionante por la arqueología, la botánica y hasta las consecuencias del cambio climático.

«Este libro es una auténtica celebración de cómo el respeto de una comunidad por su biodiversidad puede crear magia líquida».
--José Andrés

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

WINNER OF THE JAMES BEARD AWARD 2024

THE AGAVE PLANT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BECOME A BLAND, CHEAP DISTILLED BEVERAGE...

All tequilas are mezcals. All mezcals are made from agaves. And every bottle of mezcal is the extraordinary result of collaborations between agave entrepreneurs, botanists, distillers, beverage distributors, bartenders, and enthusiasts. This fascinating book by renowned ethnobotanist Gary Paul Nabhan and pioneering restaurateur David Suro Piñera explores the connection among them all.

Agave distillation is part science and part art. Alma de agave shows how traditional mezcal production methods are inspiring a new generation of agave spirit enthusiasts. Reaching back to an ancestral tradition, the authors share their expertise to uncover the story behind a bottle of Mexico's iconic distilled spirit, and invite readers on a thrilling journey through archaeology, botany, and even the consequences of climate change.

"This book is a true celebration of how a community's respect for its biodiversity can create liquid magic."
--José Andrés
