I have never been able to tell the difference between tequila and mescal. Aren't they both made from agave cactus?

I believe that Tequila is only produced in one region and only with the Blue Agave plant. Mescal is produced in other regions and can use other varieties of agave.

Tequila is made from Blue Agave only. Mescal is made from a variety of Agave plants and only in Oaxaca.
