About this bottle

Del Maguey Madrecuixe Mezcal is a limited release from the Vino de Mezcal series, produced in San Luis del Rio. Madrecuixe is a wild agave variety that matures for 10 to 15 years and is harvested at an elevation of 3,000 feet. The piñas are earth-roasted for three to eight days and their juices pressed with a traditional stone mill. Natural fermentation in a wooden vat lasts six to eight days, followed by double distillation in copper stills. It is bottled at 47% alcohol by volume.

Josue Shuler 4.5

Lot: MAD-141. On the nose, it's slightly smoky with some earthiness, vegetal notes, juicy fruit gum, mango, and pineapple. Initially, the taste is roasted agave/vegetal and peppery, then transforms into a delicious tropical fruit explosion with mangos, papaya, pineapple, and lots of juicy fruit gum, which slowly fades to a chalky finish with a hint of cinnamon. I love this.

Debra Munson 4.3

A hint of smoke joins herbal notes, balanced by sweetness and a touch of bitterness. 93

Gail Hopkins 4.8

Bright, zesty, floral, and aromatic, with fruity and some mineral notes.

Adonis Duong 4.5

Excellent balance of vegetal and mineral flavors, then fading to dust.
