In the most fashionable areas of Mexico City if you ask for salsa-chile it will not be really spicy, because is dimmed for the taste of the USA population living here since pandemic as remote workers... Oddly enough about tequilas & mezcales the same thing happen. If Tequila for USA it will taste Vanilla, lower profile, less rough. Teramana or 818 tequila, or even Casa Amigos are not to be sold in Mx only in USA. This, because even when I love Del Maguey Vida - is the only Mezcal with green bottle- has a very subtle taste profile, a velvet mezcal. When I made this Ultima Palabra, I use one of my fiery bold 'hijo de su chin... madre ' mezcales (Union) and the taste of the pineapple is buried into the smokiness. So next I would try with one for USA market quite sure the taste will be different.

You see! I know my business. Now is completly different: the pineapple is above the mezcal - Dos Hombres the one of Breaking Bad stars'- As a matter of fact it taste a lot like TEPACHE a traditional pineapple ferment of a very low proof, served in the streets -no industrial version- but I think the flavour could improve with yellow chartreuse and not green since this tepache I told you is not herbal. If you have the opportunity do not miss.
