Description

• Mezcal produced in Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
• Maestro Mezcalero Antonio Cortés Aragon
• 100% Bicuishe (Agave karwinskii)
• Cooked in a conical earthen oven and crushed using a traditional stone tahona mill drawn by a bull (!)
• Fermented in open-air wooden tanks (tinas)
• Distilled twice using copper pot stills with hybrid refrescadera condenser
• This a distinct crowd pleaser; herbaceous and earthy yet fresh and green with subtle acidity and rounded angles, soft like the texture of wet clay
• 47% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

Piney and fibrous, this is a beautiful example of one of the many subspecies of Agave karwinskii found around Oaxaca, though Bicuishe is a term less frequently used in commercial productions outside the district of Miahuatlán.
