Due to its large and resinous trunk, the Madrecuishe (aka  Agave karwinskii) carries a lot of fiber alongside its highly concentrated sugars. A balance of fruity and vegetal notes is a hallmark of the distillate, implying everything from leafy green herbs to sweet carrots to raspberry seeds. From Maestro Mezcalero Antonio Cortés Aragon, this is an outstanding and surprising example—green melon rind dances with the thick aroma of fresh peanut shells and traces of sweet green herbs like cilantro.
