Produced in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca by Maestra Mezcalera Margarita Blas and Carlos Mendez Blas, this is traditional mezcal made without shortcuts by one of the region’s compelling mother-and-son production teams. The Madrecuishe is cooked in conical earthen ovens, milled by stone tahona, naturally fermented in wooden tinas, and distilled twice in copper pot stills. Bottled at 48% ABV, it has the concentration and precision that make these vertical, tree-like karwinskii agaves so prized by mezcal drinkers. Expect a profile driven by bright green herbal tones, fibrous agave intensity, racy minerality, and a dry, clean finish, with subtle shades of bell pepper and honeydew moving through the palate. This is not a sweet or soft style, but rather a vivid, high-definition mezcal with the tension, lift, and earthy depth that make Madrecuishe one of the great varieties of Oaxaca.
