Product details
Mr. Mezcal Cuishe is a mono‑varietal, single‑estate spirit crafted from wild Agave karwinskii—commonly called “Cuishe” in Zapotec—and accounts for less than 1% of Oaxaca's agave crop. These impressive 12–18‑year‑old agaves stand 6–8 ft tall before being harvested by hand. Over three generations of family mezcaleros, each step—from roasting piñas in underground pits to tahona milling, open‑air fermentation, and copper still distillation—is executed entirely by hand, honoring artisanal tradition and ecological respect. Its striking black‑on‑black bottle design reflects Mr. Mezcal’s dedication to both purity and aesthetics, earning international acclaim (Platinum, Gold, “Best Mezcal” at LA Spirits; Silver at San Francisco World Spirits).
On the nose, Mr. Mezcal Cuishe offers a compelling, herbaceous encounter, redolent of fresh-cut jungle greens and vibrant mountain herbs—a hallmark of wild Agave karwinskii (Cuishe), which constitutes less than 1% of Oaxaca’s agave harvest.
