Who is behind this site

Mexican Spirits Bible is a personal project written and maintained by Andy Garcia. It started with a simple curiosity that turned serious: understanding what actually separates a tequila from a mezcal, a sotol from a bacanora, and why so many published answers contradict each other. This site is the result: a bilingual reference that treats Mexican spirits with the depth they deserve.

How the site is written

Every page cites its sources: official standards published in Mexico’s Federal Register, academic literature on botany and distillation, industry databases, and specialist press. Where the evidence is strong, the page says so; where it is weak or disputed, it says that too. That is the confidence-label system you will see across the site, explained in detail on Sources & confidence. The project’s full mission lives on the Colophon.
