REGION: Oaxaca

Founded 2009, Cuish was the first modern mezcaleria in Oaxaca City, dedicated to promoting and protecting traditional mezcales. Production choices are left entirely to the maestros and the local traditions in which they work; each batch is a snapshot of the people and place from which it comes.

Led by Gonzalo Martinez, Macurichos employs both modern Artesanal techniques and traditional Ancestral methods, including clay pot stills. Cultivating diverse fields of agave from seed, Gonzalo is dedicated to both the cultural tradition and the agricultural heritage of agave in Santiago Matatlán.
