Dixeebe Madrecuishe Mezcal — a 100.2 proof (50.1% ABV), 375mL mezcal artesanal from Valentin Cortes in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. Made from wild maguey Madrecuishe (a variety of Agave karwinskii), pit-cooked, tahona-milled, and double distilled in copper stills the traditional way. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Madrecuixe is one of Oaxaca's most expressive wild agaves — herbaceous, mineral, and layered. Dixeebe bottles it at a full 100.2 proof in the small 375mL format, keeping the agave's wild character intact. Like every Dixeebe release, it's a small batch of a few hundred bottles from a family with at least 180 years of mezcal tradition.
