This single-agave offering made by the late Master Mezcalero Juan Hernández Méndez is 100% Cuishe agave, which is a wild agave distinctive for its tall height and cylindrical stalk. 

This Cuishe offering has a lovely nutty, earthy nose.  On the palate, notes of jalapeño pepper and spices.  Banana and chipotle follow through with a hint of cinnamon sticks and clove,
