Madre Mezcal Ancestral is a traditional mezcal crafted by Madre Mezcal, a producer known for its dedication to preserving the ancestral methods of mezcal production. This spirit is made from a blend of agave species, including Espadin and Cuishe, which are harvested from the wild in the Oaxaca region of Mexico. The production process involves roasting the agave hearts in earthen pits, fermenting them naturally with wild yeast, and distilling the spirit in small batches using clay pot stills. The result is a mezcal with a complex flavor profile that includes notes of smoke, earth, and a hint of citrus, with a smooth, lingering finish. With an ABV of around 45%, this mezcal is perfect for sipping neat or using in cocktails.
