Quiquiriqui Mezcal Madrecuishe | 700ML

This artesanal mezcal from Quiquiriqui is made from 100% madrecuishe agave, which was roasted in earthen pits before fermentation and distillation in a copper pot still. This joven mezcal was rested for two weeks before bottling, and is brimming with vegetal notes of green pepper and herbs, along with light florals and warm, roasted spices.

Quiquiriqui Mezcal Madrecuishe | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Blast of warm cinnamon, touch of celery seed and leaf, touch of pickle jar lactic.

Palate: That cinnamon continues with a nice warm blanket. Highlight flavor of edible flower bitterness. Another taster thought it had a hint of arugula bitterness.

Finish: It finishes silky smooth, with a dried-herb-like quality and a clean mineral edge.

Distillery Information

Quiquiriqui Mezcals are all single palenque, handcrafted spirits, produced in Oaxaca, Mexico. Established in 2012, we partner directly with families who have been producing traditional Mezcals in their communities for generations Our products are made to order in small batches. We are committed to making our Mezcals with a social responsibility towards the local communities. QQRQ has always worked hard to bring quality handmade Mezcals to you all at affordable prices. After spending 6 months in Oaxaca learning about and falling in love with Mezcal, its culture and history (and opening the UK's first Mezcaleria) owner Melanie started the brand, working with the Mendez family from Matatlan who she met several years before during a research trip. The family have been involved in agave spirit production for 3 generations, working from their family palenque for over 80 years. Using only traditional production techniques and secret recipes passed down through the family, each QQRQ expression is a 100% hand-made, organic spirit. The range from QQRQ is currently sold worldwide and has grown sustainably with a focus on maintaining its historical production and keeping its single palenque, family orientated values.
