Agave karwinskii more closely resemble a palm to many observers than what is typically identified as agave. The entire trunk is typically fermented and distilled when producing mezcal, resulting in a spirit much higher in vegetal and fibrous aromatic & flavor profiles. Madrecuishe is a subvarietal of A. karwinskii, typically yielding higher sugars, and possessing the unique potential to propagate other subvarietals or to cross-pollinate with other species altogether.
