Agaves have been a hot distillate on Libations for Everyone of late, so it felt like the appropriate time to invite an expert in the arena of all things agave onto the program. Todd Mulhair is the maestro of spirits at the spectacular Escondido at Centro in Minneapolis-- recently named a top 15 agave bar in the US by Food & Wine. Todd was accompanied by Ian and Nick (his left and right hand men in the wondrously intimate Escondido tasting room), and came heavily armed with so many bottles of agave that it started to feel like they were pulling them out of Ben and Charles' ears. These were some very special bottles, so prepare for a masterclass on agave, and some beautiful storytelling about the origins of some of their selections.Here are your topics o' the week: 🌍 How far is too far a distance to go for something you reeeeeally want?🍷 What was your "first love" libation, and do you still love it today? 🥡 Name a favorite, but unpopular, pairing🏙️ What is your city missing, or could use more of? ..and more.
