QUIQUIRIQUI MEZCAL MADREQUISHE 47% VOL. 700ML

The Madrecuishe agave belongs to the Karwinskii family and primarily grows in the drier climates of Oaxaca. It is harvested when it is 14-16 years old and has a distinctive tall, cylindrical shape. The density of the agave core and its low water content give the mezcal high minerality and freshness, with notes of fresh flowers.

Quiquiriqui Madrecuishe Mezcal is made from 100% Madrecuishe agave, which is roasted in clay ovens before fermentation and distillation in a copper still. The mezcal is rested for two weeks before bottling, offering notes of green pepper, herbs, flowers, and spices.

The traditional method involves roasting the agave in pit ovens, crushing it with a Tahona (stone wheel), and fermenting in oak vats. The process is completed with double distillation in small copper stills, creating a rich mezcal flavor.
