While traditionally classified among wild agaves due to its tall growth and slender leaves, recent botanical classification identifies it as a relative belonging to the genus Furcraea (within the Asparagaceae family), making it a close cousin to agave and sotol. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in Logoche, San Luis Amatlán, this spirit captures the hallmark terroir of Miahuatlán. It is slow-roasted in an underground conical stone pit, crushed using a mechanical shredder (desgarradora), naturally fermented with ambient yeasts in open-air sabino (cypress) wood vats using local well water, and double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills equipped with a refrescadera. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is an extraordinarily complex, earthy, and savory distillate that offers a fascinating departure from standard wild agave profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Mezcalería Cuish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct: Destilado de Agave Penca Larga \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaestro Mezcalero: Hermógenes Vásquez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Logoche, San Luis Amatlán, Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaw Material: 100% Penca Larga (Furcraea sp.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOven Type: Underground conical stone pit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrushing Method: Mechanical shredder (desgarradora) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: Open-air sabino (cypress) vats with ambient yeast and well water \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistillation: Double distilled in traditional copper pot stills with refrescadera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol by Volume: ~45% - 48% ABV (varies by batch) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppearance: Crystal clear with high viscosity, clinging to the glass with slow, well-defined tears.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAroma: An evocative, green, and mineral-driven nose.
