Lalocura Cuishe

Oaxaca

Lalocura Cuishe is a Joven mezcal distilled from Agave rhodacantha, also known as Mexicano. The spirit presents a profile of roasted sweet potato, herbal notes, and distinct clay minerality. Aromas often include sweet fruit like pear or grape alongside wildflower prairie scents. The palate balances sharp spices with zesty citrus and a rich, creamy texture that lingers pleasantly on the tongue. Finish notes range from white chocolate to wet stone, offering a complex yet balanced character typical of this respected Oaxacan distiller who values integrity in every bottle.

Lalocura Mezcal

About the Brand

Before starting Lalocura in 2014, Eduardo “Lalo” Ángeles spent years working as the fourth generation master mezcalero of his family’s brand Real Minero, where he combined a lifetime of working under his father, the late, great Don Lorenzo with a collegiate degree in agricultural engineering. Many Real Minero bottles from several years ago actually have Eduardo listed alongside his father as the master distiller. Lalocura’s clay pot distilled mezcals have built a steady cult following over the last few years. People from around the world show up at the palenque in Santa Catarina Minas each day hoping to spend time listening to Lalo tell stories while they taste the 20+ expressions he has resting in glass at any given time. If you like clay pot distilled mezcal and you like Real Minero, it’s highly recommended that you find some Lalocura.
