TIL all tequlia is mezcal, bit not all mezcal is tequila.
It is a regulated name, there are strict rules for which drinks can use the name. It has to be made from an speciffic kind of blue agave and in an speciffic region using speciffic methods. Without fulfilling all requisites, the drink is just mezcal. Or it would be provided it fulfills the requisites for being a mezcal, because mezcal itself has rules to be able to use the name.Yes, it has to be made out of blue agave specifically.
There's also some nonsense about leylines or whatever in the strictest definitions, but that part can be safely ignored
You’re not wrong, but it’s a whole lot deeper than that.It is a regulated name, there are strict rules for which drinks can use the name.

It has gotten very costly recently. Mostly because everybody somewhat famous and their dog wants a tequila or mezcal brand of their own. So many small producers are just calling their drink "destilado de agave" and calling it a day.

ie. nonsense. Not specifically about ley lines per se, that was me being facetious, but definitely born out of a close relative of leyline nonsense and a general belief in special locations with magical propertiesIt is a regulated name, there are strict rules for which drinks can use the name.

what the... really? are these things safe to be planted next to other cultivars let alone be eaten? I mean there was an incident in my country involving cobalt-60 a long time ago, that contaminated tons of steel that became unusable and it was just from a single Rx machine.Today I learned that ruby red grapefruits are the product of atomic gardening.
The amount of material actually from the irradiated seed would be negligible, especially generations down the linewhat the... really? are these things safe to be planted next to other cultivars let alone be eaten?
