Mezcal Cuishe

• Mezcal produced in Candelaria Yegolé, Zoquitlán, Oaxaca
• Maestro Mezcalero Vicente Sánchez Parada
• Distilled from 100% Cuishe (Agave karwinskii)
• Agave cooked in a conical earthen pit
• Milled using a traditional stone tahona
• Fermented in open-air wooden vats (tinas)
• Distilled twice using traditional wood-fired copper pot stills
• Tomatillo, ginger, fresh hay, and orange zest dance on the palate, followed by a delicate note of honeydew
• 48.3% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

The light-on-its-feet character of this mezcal belies the feisty Cuishe (Agave karwinskii) from which it was made. An unusually bright and refreshing expression amongst the often-brooding distillates seen from the Sanchez Parada brothers.
