The Impex Collection Madrecuixe Felipe Cortes Mezcal
Felipe Cortés, known as Don Felipe, works with his son Ageo in Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, and the pair produce some of the most respected mezcales in the region, bottled under labels like Mal Bien before ImpEx selected this batch. The ImpEx Collection is the independent-bottling program run by Sam Filmus and Chris Uhde, best known for single-cask Scotch and small-batch rum, and this was one of four agave spirits in the collection's first mezcal edition. Madrecuixe is a wild Agave karwinskii, a tall, slender, slow-growing maguey that gives the herbal, mineral character Miahuatlán is known for. Don Felipe crushes the roasted piñas by tahona and distills in a refrescador still, the traditional Oaxacan design that condenses the spirit in a single pass. Batch 0417FC was distilled in 2017, rested in glass for five years, and bottled at 49.66% ABV (98 proof) in a run of 370 bottles. Drinkhacker rated it B+, noting soot and overripe fruit on the nose, then a chewy, smoky palate of applesauce, spiced pear and an earthy, spice-dusted jicama note with a lingering finish; Mezcal Reviews tasters found melon, honeysuckle, cilantro, mustard seed and a graphite, sage and lime finish.
