The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide
Tlecān
Mexico City, Mexico
Found where the mezcalería scene flourished at the beginning of the 21st century, Tlecān (the Náhuatl word for 'place of fire') has developed a totally new way of understanding mezcal. The bar offers a diverse selection of artisanal agave distillates from small producers across Mexico, with a particular focus on spirits made by female distillers.
