The ImpEx Collection: Bicuixe by Felipe Cortes
Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
This is a distinguished expression from legendary mezcalero Don Felipe Cortes, whose reputation in the mezcal community spans generations. Working alongside his son Ageo, Felipe crafts some of Miahuatlán's most celebrated mezcales, and this Bicuixe showcases their masterful approach to this distinctive agave variety.
CRAFTING LEGACY
Created by Don Felipe Cortes and his son Ageo, whose mezcales have become synonymous with excellence in the Miahuatlán region. Their collaborative approach combines decades of traditional knowledge with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in spirits of exceptional character and complexity.
TASTING NOTES
- Nose: Unexpectedly fruit-forward with bright pineapple and green apple notes, reminiscent of yellow Starburst candy. Underlying aromas of wet concrete and subtle hints of lemongrass provide depth and complexity
- Palate: A vibrant fruit medley featuring fresh kiwi and citrus candies, with notes evoking lemon-lime sports drink. The profile evolves to reveal wet stone minerality and charred green peppers
- Finish: Complex interplay of honey-glazed jalapeños and fresh mint, complemented by sugar-dusted grapefruit and persistent sage notes. Distinguished by a unique chalky texture that adds to the experience

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
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.
