Cuish Madrecuishe – Hermogenes Vasquez
Cuish Madrecuishe, Hermogenes Vasquez is a Joven mezcal from San Luis Amatlan, Oaxaca. Produced by Hermógenes Vasquez under NOM-O606X, this spirit uses Karwinskii agave. The nose offers sweet tart candy, lime, and peanuts with a distinct nutty character. Palate notes include coriander, minerals, and fresh cut grass balanced by subtle earthiness. Integrated smoke supports the herbaceous profile while a full yet soft texture lingers with saline notes at forty-eight percent alcohol by volume. The cold blend unites distinct batches for a cohesive expression of terroir that honors the region's tradition.
