El Pintor Mezcal Ensamble
El Pintor Mezcal Ensamble is the Oaxacan counterpart to El Pintor tequila, part of a series of "author agave spirits" created by maestro tequilero Guillermo Barroso Arnaud. It is produced in Yautepec, Oaxaca, from a blend of two agaves: cultivated Espadín (Agave angustifolia) and wild Cuishe (Agave karwinskii), a tall, slender maguey that grows on Oaxacan hillsides and forms a trunk rather than a squat rosette. Production follows the traditional mezcal process from start to finish. The piñas are roasted in an earthen pit oven, crushed with a stone tahona, fermented naturally, and double distilled in copper stills, then bottled unaged as a joven at 41% ABV under NOM O342X. Espadín is the backbone of most Oaxacan mezcal and supplies the body of the blend, while the wild Cuishe brings in the character of a maguey that is harvested from the land rather than farmed. Mezcal Reviews notes smoke and a tart, lime-candy note on a light body. At a gentler 41%, it is an approachable introduction to wild-agave mezcal and a good fit for mezcal cocktails such as a Naked and Famous, a Oaxaca Old Fashioned or a smoky margarita.
