The Lost Explorer Madre Cuishe Artesanal Oaxaca Mezcal

The Lost Explorer Madre Cuishe is an artisanal Oaxacan Mezcal made from the distinctive Madre Cuishe agave, known for its tall, slender shape and complex vegetal character. The agave is traditionally roasted, crushed and double-distilled in copper stills, creating a spirit with an expressive balance of roasted agave, tropical fruit, herbs and earthy minerality. Its relatively moderate proof allows the intricate botanical character of Madre Cuishe to remain clear and approachable. The result is an elegant, layered mezcal that highlights the distinctive character of this less-common agave variety.
