  Hedonistas de la Fe Cuishe Mexican Mezcal 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 059763-615-983

  Agave Karwinskii grows tall and slender, almost like a small tree, quite unlike the round Espadín most people know. From that plant comes Cuishe – one of the more elegant, floral sides of Mezcal.

  Expert Description

  Hedonistas de la Fe Cuishe is a Mexican Mezcal from Oaxaca, made from 100% Agave Karwinskii and bottled at 46%. It comes from the same family-run palenque as Hedonistas de la Fe Tepeztate, run by maestro mezcalero Gerardo "Kaín" Santiago Hernandez in Santiago Matatlán. The agave is cooked in an underground earth oven, crushed on a stone tahona wheel and fermented with wild yeast in wooden vats before being double-distilled in copper alembic stills. This Cuishe is made from wild agave matured for 13-15 years, with production limited to 300 bottles.

  Palate

  Soft and elegant, almost sake-like, with white pepper, florals, plum and dried fruit.

  Finish

  Long, nuanced and well-balanced, with a touch of mineral salinity.

  Did You Know?

  Agave Karwinskii, the plant behind Cuishe, does not grow like a typical agave with a round rosette of leaves – it shoots up as a tall, slender stalk that can look more like a small tree than a classic agave plant.

  Hedonistas de la Fe Espadin Mexican Mezcal 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 059763-615-985

  Espadín is the agave the whole world of mezcal is built on – the one that grows across Oaxaca's valleys, and the one every mezcalero learns to understand before anything else. At the Santiago family's palenque in Matatlán, handling it is a craft refined over generations.

  Expert Description

  Hedonistas de la Fe Espadin is a Mexican Mezcal at 46% ABV, distilled from 100% Agave Angustifolia by the Santiago family in Matatlán, Oaxaca.

  Unlike the wild Tobalá, Espadín is cultivated, though at Hedonistas de la Fe the agave is still hand-selected by trained jimadors, who let the plants mature for 6-8 years before harvest. This release is limited to 330 bottles in total.

  The agave hearts are roasted over mesquite in a traditional earth oven, which gives the mezcal its smoky complexity. After roasting, the piñas are crushed with a tahona, and the mash ferments naturally in open wooden vats before being distilled twice in copper stills.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Brine and gentle smoke meet soft honey notes.

  Palate

  Layers of white pepper, grapefruit peel and tropical fruit unfold in a well-balanced, versatile mezcal.

  Finish

  Round and lightly spiced, with a finish that lingers pleasantly.

  Nothing goes to waste at Hedonistas de la Fe: the agave leaves fuel the roasting fire, the spent tahona fibre goes back onto the fields as fertiliser, and new Espadín is continually replanted to secure future harvests.
