This course is intended for Mezcal Specialists who have already taken the ASI Level 1 seminar and are interested in furthering their understanding of Oaxaca’s wild agaves. Over the course of the Level 2 certification, we will explore Oaxaca’s past, present and future, discussing the recent challenges and successes in agave spirits production in the region. This course will also delve into the proper service aspects of fine spirits such as mezcal, ranging from Michelin-star service to more rustic environments.

Upon completion of the course, the Certified Mezcal Sommelier will be well-versed in theory, service, and organoleptic analysis as they pertain to agave spirits craftsmanship.

The course is intense and fast-paced, covering a lot of information (and by no means all) about the world of mezcal and other agave spirits, as well as several tasting exercises, and food pairing concepts.
