Besos de Angelica Cuishe Artesenal Mezcal 750ml

Besos de Angélica Cuishe Artesanal Mezcal – 45% ABV | 750ml

Wild, earthy, and traditionally crafted, Besos de Angélica Cuishe Artesanal Mezcal showcases the distinctive character of wild Cuishe agave through an authentic small-batch production process rooted in Oaxacan mezcal tradition. Bottled at 45% ABV in a 750ml format, this artisanal mezcal delivers layered herbal complexity, mineral depth, pepper spice, and refined smoke balanced by the unmistakable personality of Cuishe agave.

Process & Profile

Produced in Oaxaca, Mexico, this artisanal mezcal is crafted from mature wild Cuishe agave, a member of the Karwinskii agave family known for producing intensely herbal, earthy, and structured mezcals. The agaves are traditionally roasted in underground earthen pits using wood-fired volcanic stone, then crushed, naturally fermented, and distilled using traditional artisanal methods.

Cuishe agave is prized among mezcal enthusiasts for its dry minerality, savory complexity, and elegant balance between vegetal freshness and smoky depth. The higher 45% ABV bottling strength helps preserve the mezcal’s texture, structure, and full agave expression.

Appearance

Crystal clear with brilliant clarity, reflecting its pure and traditionally unaged character.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh herbs, wet earth, roasted agave, black pepper, minerality, and soft campfire smoke.

Palate: Complex and structured with notes of green herbs, citrus peel, smoked agave, white pepper, vegetal earthiness, and mineral-driven salinity.

Finish: Long and dry with lingering smoke, pepper spice, herbal freshness, and earthy agave character.

What Makes It Special

Besos de Angélica Cuishe stands out through its use of wild Cuishe agave, a varietal highly regarded for producing some of the most terroir-driven and savory mezcal profiles in Oaxaca. Compared to more fruit-forward Espadín expressions, Cuishe mezcals tend to emphasize minerality, herbs, earth, and structure, making them especially appealing to experienced mezcal drinkers and collectors.

Its artisanal production methods and elevated proof further preserve the mezcal’s authenticity and natural complexity while delivering a more expressive sipping experience.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a copita or veladora glass to appreciate its layered aromatics and evolving herbal complexity. Pair with citrus, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, or Oaxacan cuisine. Due to its structured and savory profile, it is best appreciated as a sipping mezcal rather than heavily mixed cocktails.
