About Mezcal Cuishe
Crafted from wild Cuishe agave, also known as Karwinskii, this mezcal is as unique as the plant it comes from. Cuishe is a slim, medium-sized agave that takes 10 to 12 years to mature, sometimes up to 15 years. Its long, narrow leaves rise vertically, giving it a distinctive appearance.
Flavor Profile
Mezcal 1250 Cuishe boasts floral and green vegetal notes with hints of minerality and spiciness. The taste is a rich blend of herbal, citrusy, and even woody undertones, making it perfect for those seeking a complex and refined mezcal experience.
A Rare and Wild Heritage
Cuishe agave thrives in the arid valleys and rugged terrains of Oaxaca, making it a less commonly cultivated and rare variety. Its high sugar content adds to the mezcal's distinctive flavor, offering a true reflection of its wild origins.
