Mezcal Los Siete Misterios Ensambles Cuishe 700ml

In their words -  This ensamble is a blend of Espadín and Cuishe. Unlike most Maguey, whose pencas (leaves) grow outwards from a piña (central heart) or rooted on the ground, the Cuishe agave develops as a long vertical stem or trunk with the sugar concentrated near the top where the pencas remain green and spikey. This shape resembles a barrel once the leaves are cut, hence why Cuishe is also known as Barril.
