Full of flavor & aroma, this artisanal agave spirit exudes notes of raw honey, cucumber, and cedar wood. Crafted by master distiller Berta Vasquez in Chichicapam, Oaxaca from wild agave Cuishe (a. karwinksii) Luneta's Cuishe is roasted below ground with mesquite and oak wood. It is smashed with a tahona (horse-drawn grindstone), fermented with naturally occuring yeast in cypress wood vats and twice distilled in copper. Only 268 bottles were made in our 750ml size with a smooth 46% alc. vol.
Berta’s Cuishe
We visit and build personal relationships with all mezcaleros we purchase from. The producers we collaborate with belong to families that have been crafting traditional agave spirits for at least three generations. They utilize stills with a capacity of 250 liter or less. No two batches are ever the same.
