This ensamble is a blend of Espadín and Cuishe. Unlike most agave, whose leaves (pencas) grow outwards from a central heart or pina rooted on the ground, the Cuishe agave develops as a long vertical stem or trunk with the sugar concentrated near the top where the pencas remain green and spikey. This shape resembles a barrel once the leaves are cut, hence why Cuishe is also known as Barril.

Mezcal Type: Angustifolia Haw/ Karwinksii

Cooking: Earth oven, using wood and river stones

Distillation: Double in Copper Pot Still

Region: San Dionisio, Oaxaca

Nose : A nice aromatic balance around cucumber, dill and dried grapefruit peel combined with a slight smoke with sweet accents of honey and vanilla.

Appearance : Cristallin.

Palate : Herbs and citrus zest set the tone, followed by dry notes of tobacco, ground pepper and olives. Delicate hints of smoke, wet earth and butter create richness and depth.

Overall : A long and robust finish on grilled corn with a perfect balance.
