Any certified mezcal will state the scientific plant name using the term Agave, while the common name that is used in the community and by the producer is listed as Maguey. For example, Maguey espadin is an Agave angustifolia.
The name maguey can be used to delineate different local variations of scientifically related plants. For example, there are several sub-varieties of Agave karwinskii that grow in the community of Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca: Maguey marteño, san martin, san martinero, barril, largo, tobaziche, tripon, madrecuixe, and more. Some of these names may refer to the same agave plant, but different producers have their own slightly different name for them.

This noble, carefully distilled and matured fruit brandy from Williams pears captivates the senses with the unmistakable aroma of this fruit. The Williams pear is cultivated in Switzerland in the canton of Valais and is one of the most popular pear varieties. Thanks to its powerful yet elegant aroma, it is ideal for the production of pear brandy. The freshly distilled Williams pear brandy first rests in stainless steel tanks for at least two years and then matures in oak casks for 14 to 18 months. After the maturation process, the pear brandy is further refined with a homemade bonificateur to give it the wonderful aroma and subtle sweetness, which makes this Vieille Poire so unique.
