MADRE MEZCAL EMSAMBLE 750ML
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.
