Pierde Almas Mezcal
Macurichos Madrecuishe
Macurichos Madrecuishe is a Joven mezcal distilled in February 2023 by Gonzalo Martinez Sernas. This lot presents cool menthol, cedar wood, and orange rind on the nose alongside a grassy character. The palate offers an oily mouth coat with mid-palate brine and back-palate spice. Toasted agave flavors predominate while an herbal karwinskii undertone provides depth. Sweet citrus and dark cherries appear on the tongue with a smooth finish. The spirit balances vegetal notes with pleasant sweetness and a touch of burn.

About the Brand
Led by maestro mezcalero Gonzalo Martinez, Mezcal Macurichos is dedicated to the protection of the cultural tradition and the agricultural heritage of agave within the iconic mezcal production community of Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico. The family employs numerous neighbors and is one of the rare distillers the area who still produce using Ancestral methods, including clay pot stills. Gonzalo and his brothers cultivate their own diverse fields of agave – planting from seed and reforesting the diminishing wild agave populations.
