What's behind the latest agave boom? Three big agave brains share their thoughts

I hosted a panel talk — one of the most interesting ones I’ve been involved with — for Proof & Company during Sydney Bar Week, called Casa de Agave and I’ve got the recording of that talk for you on this episode of Drinks At Work. we had some big agave brains on the panel — founder of Agave Cartel and the group bars guy for Sydney hospitality group, Solotel, Reece Griffiths; co-founder of the Mucho Group and its bars including the agave-focused Cantina OK! and Tio’s, Jeremy Blackmore; and a special international guest, Jay Khan, the owner and bartender of the Mexico-inspired cocktail bar Coa in Hong Kong, a bar that has been named Asia’s best bar three years running. We talked about the current agave boom, where it goes next, who the winners and losers are in the world of agave spirits, and loads more — it’s a really spirited discussion, with a range of views, and well worth a listen.
