Our cuishe mezcal Quiéreme Mucho is an ode to the verticality of the countryside. Born from the wild cuishe agave in San Pedro Taviche, this distillate captures the essence of a maguey that takes its time to absorb the mineral richness of the soil. Cuishe agave is a structured and complex experience, designed for those seeking a mezcal with deep roots and unmistakable character.
Discover the nobility of the cuishe maguey in a distillate that breaks with the industrial. Our cuishe mezcal is a tribute to San Pedro Taviche, where the verticality of the cuishe agave is transformed into an elixir of mineral notes and artisanal smoothness, designed to be enjoyed with kisses.
Exceptional smoothness: Distilled in copper to polish the wild character of the cuishe agave, offering a balanced spirit that respects the elegance and structure of its origin.
Pure sensory profile: An explosion of freshness with notes of wild grass, pine and damp earth that capture the essence of the cuishe maguey under the Oaxacan sun.
Inheritance in your hands: More than a mezcal, you acquire a unique piece hand-painted by Zapotec artists; unrepeatable art inside and out that honors the rarity of the cuishe agave.

If Espadín is fruity and sweet, Cuishe is dry and spicy. It is a mezcal “of character”. Think of the difference between a Merlot wine (Espadín) and a structured Cabernet Sauvignon (Cuishe). It is for those who are looking for complexity, not just sugar.
Because of its shape. Being an elongated and hard trunk, it is difficult to accommodate in the conical oven and much more difficult to grind (its fiber is very resistant). It requires more physical work and more grinding time in the Tahona to extract its juices.
No. The shape of the bottle is the same, but the artwork is unique. Each one is hand painted by a different artist. You might receive a design with alebrijes, Zapotec fretwork or local flora. That’s what makes it collectible.
