About this bottle
Erstwhile Mezcal Cuishe is a single-varietal mezcal made from cuishe agave, a slender wild-growing relative of espadín that takes longer to mature and tends to produce a more mineral, vegetal spirit. Erstwhile works with small Oaxacan palenqueros using traditional pit-roasting and open fermentation, then bottles by agave type rather than blending. Expect a smoky, earthy nose, a palate carrying green and mineral notes alongside the roasted agave, and a dry, lingering finish. A mezcal for drinkers curious about how agave variety changes the spirit rather than a general mixing bottle.
How to drink Erstwhile Cuishe
Sip it neat in small pours to follow the mineral and vegetal character; mixing would bury what makes this varietal worth seeking out.
