Pierde Almas Mezcal
Cómplice Espadín Cuishe
Cómplice Espadín Cuishe is a mezcal ensamble from Ignacio Martinez. Angustifolia and Karwinskii agaves mature for eight to fifteen years in San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca. Milling occurs via tahona while distillation utilizes copper stills under NOM-O420X. Aromas reveal ashtray cedar and wet wood alongside mushroom and roasted agave. Bright lots present rain water, strawberries, and bananas with buttery salt notes. This approachable spirit balances earthy depth with sweet fruitiness at forty-six percent alcohol by volume for a consistent profile across vintages.

About the Brand
The name of Cómplice Mezcal comes from a story. One night, a man learned of the existence of a legendary mezcalero who had the gift of capturing the essence of a person in the drops of mezcal. The man was determined to find the master. After a long period of searching, he finally found the legendary teacher. After talking for a long time, the master agreed to reveal his secrets, giving rise to a mutual complicity: whenever any of the descendants of the man found the teacher, he would teach him to capture the essence of a person in a mezcal in exchange for keeping the secret within the family. This is how, generation after generation, members of the family have maintained the unique flavor and secret of the mezcal: Cómplice Mezcal.
