Introducing La Medida Madrecuishe, a distinguished 750ml bottle of mezcal crafted with the unique maguey Madrecuishe. This mezcal showcases the versatility of a plant not traditionally cultivated for mezcal production, yet renowned for its adaptability to different environments, including tolerating moderate droughts and frosts. Often used as a living fence or to protect other crops, the Madrecuishe agave has found its way into the realm of exceptional mezcal production.
Produced in the scenic region of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, La Medida Madrecuishe embodies the essence of traditional mezcal-making. The journey begins with the careful cooking of the agave hearts in a conical earthen oven, ensuring that the flavors are fully developed. To extract the precious juices, the cooked agave is crushed using a traditional stone tahona mill drawn by a bull, reflecting the time-honored methods used in mezcal production.
La Medida Madrecuishe is the brainchild of Julián Vidal Gómez Rodríguez, a passionate mezcalero with over 40 years of experience in the industry. His expertise and dedication to the craft shine through in every bottle, guaranteeing a mezcal of exceptional quality and character.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
