Dichbe'll brand tequila

[J D Goodman]

Has anyone ever heard of Dichbe'll tequila? We tried some in a "factory outlet" in Cozumel last weekend and we bought several bottles. I noticed when we got home that there is no government stamp on the bottle as I believe there should be. Anyone know the story on this stuff?

Thanks.

Seems there is some disagreement as to this being tequila or Mezcal and it seems its only sold in a small store in Cozumel and a lot of people seem to like it. And its name is actually Dichbe'h

Here's a thread http://www.discoverymexico.com/forum...T000007&CID=SH

It has comments from Cruise ship passengers on this and is kind of interesting.

Thanks for the reply. I found that same site with all the positive comments from tourists who wandered into the store just as we did, but it also concerned me that this product is some kind of bootleg, bath tub brew that may or may not be safe to drink. According to one web site there are over 600 government approved distillers of tequila and they are all issued some kind of certification number that is supposed to appear on the bottle. The Dichbe'll bottle not only does not have the certification tag it has no info about the manufacturer at all. I'm going to be dubious about this stuff until I know more.

The makers email is alagave@hotmail.com or alvaromezcal@hotmail.com.mx....if you dont find much information I'm sure he would be happy to answer any questions you have, I found those emails in that same thread yall were looking at.

As this is a Mezcal and not a Tequila, it has only very recently (Mezcal) got its own governing body and if they want to continue to use the word Mezcal will likely have to change some things on its label. If they are mixing in additives and want to continue calling it Mezcal it will likely be labeled ABOCADO. Comercam is now the body that regulates the production, bottling/labeling and sale of Mezcal.
