Madre Cuishe (375ml), Erstwhile 2021 (Oaxaca, Mexico)

A legacy of the era when Mezcal production was illegal in Oaxaca, this Erstwhile 2021 Ancestral Limited Release rescues a Garca family tradition that had been forgotten for more than forty years. Distilled in clay pots. Distillation tube made fromquiote(flowering stalk of agave plants) instead of metal. In the 1960s and 1970s, Don Lencho – Silverios father – would use a hollowed out quiote instead of copper tube, to evade the military that would come and seize his distillation equipment by force.
