The Agave Spirits Institute's mission is to educate in the history, tradition, and sensory tasting of agave spirits. Designed for amateurs and professionals alike, the Introductory Course from the Agave Spirits Institute is intended to open your window into the vast and diverse world of agave spirits. We’ll learn the basics of how to taste like a spirits sommelier, learning how to identify aromas, flavors, and overall quality. Over the course of 2.5 hours, we’ll explore six different agave spirits, each one with a unique history, production, and taste. You’ll leave this course with the tools to better appreciate agave spirits, and an urge to keep exploring these vast and diverse drinks.
