Madre Mezcal Ensamble is a popular expression from the Morales family in Oaxaca, Mexico. It's a blend of two agave varietals: Espadín and Cuishe, each with its own unique flavor profile that contributes to the mezcal's complexity.

 

Espadín: This agave is the most commonly used for mezcal production, known for its earthy, vegetal, and citrusy notes. It provides the mezcal's base and backbone.

Cuishe: A smaller and less common agave, Cuishe adds floral, herbal, and grassy notes to the mezcal, creating a more nuanced and interesting flavor experience.

Madre Mezcal Ensamble:

 

    • Blended using a traditional copper pot still distillation method.

 

    • Cooked in earthen pit ovens lined with volcanic rock, imparting a distinct smokiness.

 

    • Bottled at 45% ABV.

 

Flavor Profile:

 

    • Nose: Smoky, earthy, with hints of citrus, herbs, and florals.

 

    • Palate: Smooth and balanced, with flavors of agave, smoke, spice, and fruit.

 

    • Finish: Long and lingering, with a touch of sweetness.

 

Madre Mezcal Ensamble is a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. It's a good choice for mezcal lovers looking for a complex and well-balanced expression, and it's also a great introduction to the world of artisanal mezcal for those new to the spirit.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about Madre Mezcal Ensamble:

 

    • It's produced in small batches, so it can be difficult to find in some markets.

 

    • It's a bit pricier than some other mezcals, but the quality and craftsmanship justify the cost.

 

  • There are other Madre Mezcal expressions available, such as a single-estate Espadín, but the Ensamble is one of the most popular and widely available.
