Don Lorenzo Cuishe Mezcal
Don Lorenzo Mezcal is a three-generation family operation in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, working out of two palenques, Mal de Amor and Dos Zapotecas. This Cuishe comes from Palenque Mal de Amor, where brothers Armando and Alvaro Hernández make it from wild Agave karwinskii, the maguey known in Oaxaca as cuishe. The plants are 12 to 15 years old and are harvested in the hills of Santa María Zoquitlán, the same source as the brand's 25-year Tepeztate. Production is fully traditional: the piñas are cooked in an earthen pit oven over red oak, crushed by a stone tahona, fermented naturally with open-air yeasts, and double distilled in copper alembic stills. It is bottled unaged at 45% ABV. A reviewer on Mezcal Reviews describes soft, beautiful aromas with minimal smoke, a subtle palate of light sweetness, earth and light mint, and a juicy finish reminiscent of salt-water taffy. Sip it neat from a copita at room temperature to catch its delicate side.
