Creyente Cuishe Mezcal (75cl, 40%)

Creyente Cuishe is a joven mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, made from 100% wild Cuishe agave, Agave karwinskii. The agave can take up to twelve years to mature. It is cooked in conical stone pit ovens, fermented naturally in wooden vats and double distilled in a copper alembic. As a single-varietal expression, it is the leaner, greener counterpoint to the standard Creyente Joven blend of Espadín and Cuishe. The mezcal is green and lean, with green pineapple and pear, grilled vegetables and smoky earthiness, and a charcoal-kissed finish. It is more herbaceous and wild than the blended Joven.
