Artisanal Cuishe Mezcal Joven

Master Mezcalero

Crafted by Crispin Méndez, whose expertise reflects generations of mezcal-making knowledge rooted in Oaxaca’s artisanal tradition.

Origin

Produced in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, a region recognized worldwide for its deep mezcal heritage and ancestral craftsmanship.

Agave

Made from Cuishe (Agave karwinskii), a wild-growing agave known for producing elegant, herbal, and terroir-driven mezcals with refined structure.

Production Process

The agave is slowly cooked in a stone-lined conical oven using oak wood, imparting subtle earthy and smoky nuances. Milling is performed with a traditional Egyptian mill, followed by natural fermentation in pinewood vats, allowing native yeasts to develop complexity and balance.

Distillation

Double distilled (2 distillations) in a copper alembic, preserving clarity, freshness, and the distinctive character of the agave.

Tasting Notes

This mezcal offers a medium body with transparent, clean tones. Herbal notes lead the profile, complemented by light touches of cooked agave and earth. On the palate, it is smooth, light, and clean, delivering a refined and refreshing finish.
