A Skurnik team favorite! Don Regulo is a wizard of Agave karwinskii, and whenever we get a chance to enjoy his Madrecuishe, we jump. A warm and earthy embrace of sweet pea and garden-fresh root veg (read: dirty carrots, sweetened after the first frost snap) balances alongside notes of bright green apple, melon rind, and sweet herbs. Fans of gin, aquavit, northern Mexican agave spirits, and sotol in particular will be head over heels.
