Proof
Valente García is a fourth-generation Maestro Mezcalero based in Santa María La Pila, Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. His Madrecuishe expression is part of the Palenqueros project, a collaboration by La Maison & Velier that highlights individual artisanal producers.
- Agave Type: Crafted from 100% cultivated Madrecuishe (Agave karwinskii), which grows at an altitude of approximately 1,552 meters.
- Traditional Methods: The agave is cooked in an earthen conical pit, crushed by hand using a wooden mallet, and fermented with ambient yeast in cypress and pine vats.
- Distillation: Double-distilled in a 350-liter copper pot still powered by direct fire.
- Strength: Bottled at a "still strength" of 48.9% ABV (97.8 proof) with no additives.
- Aroma: Vegetal notes of dry grass and green beans, balanced by floral hints like cherry blossoms and a touch of white smoke.
- Palate: A rich, caramel-like sweetness layered with roasted cocoa, minerals, and brine. It is noted for a luxurious, thick mouthfeel.
- Finish: Long-lasting and bittersweet, featuring nuances of nuts, spices, and apricot kernel.
