Mezcal Cuishe

• Mezcal produced in Candelaria Yegolé, Zoquitlán, Oaxaca
• Maestro Mezcalero Vicente Sánchez Parada
• Made from 100% Cuishe (Agave karwinskii)
• Cooked in a traditional earthen pit oven
• Milled using a traditional stone tahona 
• Open-air, spontaneously fermented in pine and cypress vats (tinas) using river water
• Distilled twice using 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 among the often-brooding distillates seen from Rey Campero.
