The old-fashioned chemist's bottle lets you know you're in for something special. Hermogenes García Vasquez, Paula Aquino Sanchez, and their son Jorge make a mere 1500 liters of hyper-local mezcal in Logoche, Oaxaca — including 400 liters of this Madrecuishe. Made with wild 100% Madrecuishe (Agave karwinskii) cooked in earthen pits, fermented in cypress wood vats, and twice-distilled in a traditional alembic copper pot still, Cuish is the epitome of terroir, tradition, and artisanship. Earthy and expressive with notes of flowers, melon rind, cucumber, wet stones, desert brush, and minerals. 94 proof.
