Okay so I have been thinking about this for a long time.
Tequila is made from roasted Agave. Agave is related to pineapples but are several times larger, also take several times longer to grow.
The Agave are oven roasted, then mashed in a wooden vat (similar to grapes, mashed by foot) then left to ferment, the ferment is then distilled, oaked and aged.
With older oaked tequilas being in comparison to a fine single malt. You can sip it with no bite.
Mescal is tequila that is made from any cactus, not just Agave.
So why can't we do this with pineapples? It shouldn't be too hard right?
