The Lost Explorer Reserva del Maestro Madre Cuishe
From the heart of San Pablo Huixtepec, Oaxaca comes The Lost Explorer Reserva del Maestro Madre Cuishe, a small-batch mezcal that honors both the land and the artistry of its maker, Maestro Mezcalero Fortino Ramos. Crafted from 100% wild-harvested Madre Cuishe agave, this limited release of only 4,500 bottles embodies the rugged beauty of the Valles Centrales, where the agave endures arid, rocky soils to create a mezcal of rare depth and vibrancy.
Fresh notes of herbs, pine nut, and stone fruit rise first, followed by a silky palate of creamy butter, almond, peanut, and hints of orange peel and minerals. Each sip lingers with a long, earthy finish touched by caramel and yam, a testament to its traditional open-air fermentation and copper still distillation.
Sustainably produced with solar-powered palenques and repurposed agave fibers, this 45% ABV mezcal is best enjoyed neat to savor its authentic Oaxacan spirit—a captivating blend of nature, craftsmanship, and time in every pour.
