Madres Mezcal (750Ml)

Description

Madre Mezcal is an artisanal mezcal from the hills of Oaxaca. This bottle blends two agaves, Espadín and Cuishe. Cuishe is a wild agave, foraged rather than farmed. Family mezcaleros make it in open-air palenques, including José Inés García Morales and his family.

The agave is smoked with copal, a traditional tree resin. It is then roasted in earthen ovens and crushed with a horse-drawn stone. After distilling, the mezcal goes into hand-blown glass bottles.

Madre has less smoke than many mezcals. That lets the sweet, mineral side of the agave come through, with a hint of sage. On the nose you will notice roasted agave and wild herbs. The finish is clean, earthy and gently smoky.

Sip it neat with a slice of orange or a little lime and salt. It also works well in a Mezcal Negroni. Pair it with grilled seafood, citrus tacos or roasted vegetables.

If you are new to mezcal, this is an easy place to start. Fans can sip it every day.
