Madre Mezcal Ensamble is the heart of Madre’s collection, expertly crafted to showcase a harmonious blend of Espadín and the rare, wild Cuishe agave, which represents only 1-2% of all agave species. This exquisite mezcal is a collaborative masterpiece, primarily produced by Jose Ines Garcia Morales and his family in San Dionisio, with a delicate touch of Cuishe sourced from the Vazquez palenque in Miahuatlán.
Unlike the typically intense smoky profiles found in many mezcals, this blend offers a refined balance that invites both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts alike. The combination of sweet Espadín and piquant Cuishe creates a layered tasting experience where each sip reveals evolving notes of herbal and smoky nuances, complemented by hints of sage, minerals, and a sweet earthy fragrance. The finish is clean and lingering, with subtle smoke and floral undertones that elevate the palate.
Each small batch of Madre Mezcal Ensamble is bottled in recycled glass and hand-numbered, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and artisanal quality. At 45.0% ABV, the mezcal’s intensity enhances its rich tropical fruit and bonfire smoke aromas, delivering a well-balanced and approachable introduction to the mezcal category.
Praised by Vinepair as one of the “15 best Mezcal brands and best Mezcals for sipping 2022,” this ensamble offers a sophisticated yet accessible profile that is perfect for everyday enjoyment or special occasions.
