Outside of Oaxaca are mountains covered with fields of agave plant which produce the liquor mezcal. Mezcal comes from one species of agave plant, whereas tequila comes from another species. Oaxaca is the home of mezcal production in Mexico. Mezcal has a smoky flavor as opposed to tequila because the agave hearts are roasted in a fire pit for mezcal. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezcal for more information.
