Embody the Untamed Spirit of Mexico: Wahaka Madre-Cuishe Mezcal
It is said the aroma of the wild and rare Madre-Cuishe agave evokes the invigorating scent of freshly fallen desert rain. Wahaka has captured the vivid essence of Mexico’s arid volcanic terroir in every artfully crafted bottle of this exceptional mezcal.
The Elusive Heart of the Lowlands
In the sun-baked lowlands of San Dionisio Ocotepec, the Madre-Cuishe agave is wild-harvested from nutrient-rich yellow soils after patiently maturing for 12 years. This emblematic regional varietal can only be tamed through traditional production methods honed over generations.
An Artisanal Journey of Fire and Time
After pit-roasting the mature pias for 3-5 days over ocote wood, they are crushed using an ancient tahona millstone. Open-air fermentation of 10-12 days in pine vats allows only native yeasts to spark the transformation. Finally, double distillation in copper pot stills preserves every ethereal note.
The Untamed Soul of the Desert
On the nose, zesty citrus and green herbaceous notes mingle with the smoky-mineral aroma of freshly dampened earth. The palate unfurls vibrant layers of stone fruit, jalapeo, and roasted agave that resolve into a dry, lingering finish with hints of wet limestone.
Each small-batch bottling encapsulates the indomitable spirit of Mexico’s desert landscapes. Sip Wahaka Madre-Cuishe neat or in a premium cocktail to embrace the wild, untamed soul within. Salud!
