In recent years, the oldest spirit in the Americas has been reinvented as a pricy positional good popular among booze connoisseurs and the mixologists who use it as a cocktail ingredient. Unlike most high-end distillates, most small-batch mezcal is typically produced by and for subsistence farming communities, often under challenging conditions. As Granville Greene spends time with \u003ci\u003emaestros mezcaleros\u003c\/i\u003e, who distill their drinks using local agaves and production techniques honed through generations, mezcal becomes a spirit of contradictions--both a liquid language celebrating village identity and craftsmanship, and a luxury export undergoing a gold-rush-style surge. \u003ci\u003eThe Mezcal Rush\u003c\/i\u003e explores the complications that can arise when an artisanal product makes its way across borders.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGranville Greene\u003c\/b\u003e is a graduate of The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University.
