Mezcalosfera | Madrecuishe | 200ml
This 100-litre batch of Agave karwinskii (Maguey Madrecuishe) was crafted by Maestro Melitón Jarquín, a 45-year-old Maestro mezcalero (Master distiller) from El Chino, Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico. Melitón enjoys making Arroqueño, Espadín, Jabalí, Tobalá, Madrecuishe, Bicuixe and blends when distilling, but his own top choice for drinking is Tepextate.
To achieve this Madrecuishe expression, he harvested agaves from his land, cooked them in an earthen oven, then crushed them by hand and distilled them - the traditional way - one time with condenser (refrescadera). The result? A soul-stirringly complex mix of hearty, floral, and fresh herbal flavors.
