The Producer Ensamble (Espadin + Cuishe) 750 ml

The Producer Ensamble blends two agave varieties — Espadín and Cuishe — rather than bottling a single-agave mezcal, a common approach among small Oaxacan producers looking to combine Espadín's reliable smoky-sweet base with Cuishe's more herbal, mineral character. The agave is traditionally roasted in earthen pits before fermentation and double-distilled in copper stills. Blending agave varieties this way lets a palenquero build complexity without needing a single rare, hard-to-source agave. Expect layered smoke, citrus, and earth rather than one dominant note. It suits mezcal drinkers who want more complexity than a single-varietal bottling offers.

How to drink The Producer Ensamble

Sip it neat in a small glass, the traditional way, or use it in a Mezcal Negroni where the blended agave complexity holds its own against Campari.
