Aguerrido Mezcal
Mal Bien Madrecuixe / Bicuixe / Tepextate
Mal Bien Madrecuixe / Bicuixe / Tepextate is a Destilado de Agave Ensamble from Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. Emanuel and Victor Ramos produce this 49.94% ABV spirit using Karwinskii, Marmorata, and Tepextate agaves. Tahona milling and a Refrescador distillation shape its profile. The nose offers warm roasted peanuts, caramel, and tropical mango notes. Palate flavors include candied nuts, apple juice, key lime, and a sharp mineral bite. Smoke carries an industrial tinge alongside lavender and overcooked poblano pepper. The finish remains clean with reserved agave sweetness and vegetal hints. This distillate balances earthy Karwinskii dominance with the complexity of other species.

About the Brand
Since 2016, the Mal Bien team has been traveling Mexico, driving off the map and into mountains filled with treacherous roads, police officers of questionable moral character, feral dogs, indigenous languages, narcos, ancient relics, machete wielding protestors, insect based meals, mudslides, blockades, corrupt politicians, and many of the world’s kindest, funniest, most brilliant people. In addition to some hard to believe stories, they’ve connected with a wide variety of traditional producers, whose mezcal is now bottled and exported under the Mal Bien name.
