Mezcal Madrecuishe 'Maximino'

• Mezcal produced in Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
• Maestro Mezcalero Maximino Nereo García Jarquín (son-in-law of Antonio Cortés Aragon)
• 100% Madrecuishe (Agave karwinskii)
• Cooked in a conical earthen oven and crushed using a traditional stone tahona mill drawn by a bull (!)
• Fermented in open-air wooden tanks (tinas)
• Distilled twice using copper pot stills with hybrid refrescadera condenser
• This is an outstanding and surprising example of Madrecuishe—green melon rind dances with the thick aroma of fresh peanut shells and traces of sweet green herbs like cilantro. Truly delightful.
• 48% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)
