Yes, they are all agave products, but Tequila is made only from agave grown in Tequila County, Mexico. Mezcal and Sotol are ways made from wild agave grown throughout the rest of Mexico. I do not recall exactly but there are some distinct differences in the process in which each is made as well. That fact, along with the different varieties of agave used in making Mezcal & Sotol make them different animals. If is often said that Tequila can be called a Mezcal or Sotol, however, Sotol and Mezcal cannot be called a Tequila. The reason for that is that both Mezcal and Sotol are not made from the agave grown in Tequila County, Mexico.
