Discover Tequila, Mezcal, and more at the Tequila and Mezcal Showcase.

This April we are showcasing the brilliant world of Tequila and Mezcal. These are some of the most exciting spirits out there with flavours stretching from light and grassy to intensely smoky. This tasting running across three of our central London stores is a chance to really get to grips with these spirits and discover why bartenders have fallen in love with them.

Both Tequila and Mezcal are made in Mexico and come from the agave plant. The differences in origin and production methods mean that these spirits have their own distinct characters and even with the categories there can be amazing variety.

Mezcal is the wider term for Mexican spirits distilled from the fermented juice of the agave plant. Tequila is one type of mezcal, made using only blue Weber agave in the state of Jalisco - where the vast majority of Tequila is made - and certain designated areas elsewhere in the country. These twin spirits vary enormously, sharing numerous commonalities as well as points of difference. Broadly speaking it can be useful to think of Tequila as cleaner and more refined, while mezcal is often more rustic in style with a pronounced smokiness.

        The Tequila and Mezcal Show 2025 was an absolute triumph! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere buzzed with energy, culture, and the unmistakable aroma of agave. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just starting your journey into Mexico’s most iconic spirits, this event had something for everyone. Live music added to the festive, immersive feel, transporting us straight to Jalisco and Oaxaca. The organisation was slick, the staff friendly and informed, and the whole event felt safe, inclusive, and welcoming. I left with a deeper appreciation for these amazing spirits and a few new bottles to add to my collection! If you love culture, good company, and world-class drinks, don’t miss the next Tequila and Mezcal Show — it’s a true celebration of Mexico in every sip!

        We had amazing night, very good environment and lots of nice different brands. We loved Noble Coyote and ended up a bottle from the show. Although it was more expensive than whisky exchange website but we were happy to support the brands and organisers
