Monte Alban Mezcal is the authentic Mexican spirit with worms - the worms soaked in Mezcal are attached separately in a container that hangs around the neck of the bottle.
Mezcal, often confused with Tequilla, has origins traced back to the 16th century. Spanish conquistadors looking for a rum substitute began distilling an Aztec soft drink made from the agave plant. They ended up with a premium spirit called Mezcal.
A similar drink was later distilled in the Tequila region, made from a different species of agave .

Legend says that the worm gives strength to anyone brave enough to eat...
