There are a few but the most common is mezcal. It is a spirit distilled from the beer, or MASH, made from the hearts of agaves. There are 3 basic types of mezcal; reposado, anejo, and white(or dorado[golden]).
White and dorado mezcals are not aged but distilled and bottled, the golden is
just colored white mezcal.
Reposado is aged in clay pots or barrels for 2 to 9 months to gain color and flavor.
Anejo is aged at least 18 months often in wooden barrels and is more like a
whiskey.
Mezcal can be made from any of a few different maguey agaves, [there are about 120 species] with other possible ingredients comprising up to 40% of the product.
Tequila mezcal is made strictly within guidelines set by the government and within the boundaries of the state of Jalisco and selected parts of bordering states, only blue agave is used in making tequila. No worm is added to tequila, only mezcal might have the worm added.
Pulque is another beverage made from maguey, it is not used in the production of mezcal, it is recognized as a separate beverage.
Tequila is a mezcal - mezcal is not tequila.
