Mezcal Cuentacuentos Cuishe (Serafin)

Cuentacuentos Cuish is produced by Maximiliano “Serafin” García Gerónimo on a small hillside outside of San Dionisio Ocotopec. The agave is cooked for 72 hours in a traditional underground horno and then milled by a horse drawn tahona. It is then naturally fermented in 5-6 days and doubled-distilled in copper pots. Tails from the distillation are used to adjust the spirit to approximately 48% ABV. The flavor profile of this mezcal is fresh, vegetal, green and bright without the unwanted aromatics. Serafin makes only small batches: this one is only 132 bottles. The focus shows up: clean distict flavors/aromas.
