Gusto Historico Espadín, Madrecuixe, Bicuixe Mezcal

Gusto Historico Espadín, Madrecuixe, Bicuixe Mezcal 103 Proof 750ml

This ensemble is a masterclass in balance, crafted by the legendary Víctor Ramos in the district of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca.

Clocking in at a robust 51.5% ABV, this expression represents the historical taste, favored by the local community: high proof, complex, and deeply traditional.

By blending the accessible sweetness of Espadín with the earthy, structured profile of wild Madrecuixe and the spicy, floral lift of Bicuixe, Ramos has created a spirit that is both a powerhouse and a delicate tapestry of flavors.

• • Aroma: An immediate hit of damp earth and roasted agave hearts. As it opens, expect bright floral notes of violet and orange blossom, underscored by a savory hint of leather and pine needles.

• • Palate: The entry is rich and oily. Initial flavors of caramelized tropical fruits (think grilled pineapple) give way to the mineral-driven "karwinskii" characteristics of the wild agaves, cedar wood, dry herbs, and a touch of black pepper.

• • Finish: Exceptionally long and resonant. The high ABV carries a clean heat that fades into a lingering sweetness of cocoa nibs and a faint, pleasant smokiness reminiscent of a dying campfire.
