El Rey Zapoteco - Cuishe - 45%

El Rey Zapoteco is a premium handcrafted Mezcal produced by the second generation of the Hernandez family in Matatlán Oaxaca, in Mexico. The Mezcal are the result of a dedicated process, from the careful growing of the maguey plant until the final bottling.

The process begins by cutting the leaves and the roots when the agave reaches maturity (minimum 8 years and up to 30 years depending on the species), leaving only the heart named “piña” (meaning pineapple in Spanish) because of the resemblance to the fruit. The piñas are cut into pieces and cooked in a natural underground oven over wood and stone. This step lasts from 4 days up to 7 days depending the quantity of agaves. The cooked fragments are cut again and placed in a stone mil. The stone is pulled by a horse, grinding and extracting the juice of the pieces of agaves. The ground agaves are placed into wooden vats with water, allowing them to ferment utilising only natural yeasts. The fermented product, named “tepache", is distilled twice in copper stills, creating the final result: Mezcal. In some cases, the Mezcal is then placed in oak barrels allowing it to age for a period of time. The Mezcal obtained is poured back into the “guardianes” (copper still) to repeat the ritual and purify it by eliminating any residual water that has remained.

This Mezcal is produced with Cuishe (Karwinski) wild agave. The fermentation was carried out in pine and oak wooden vats. It was matured between 12 to 15 years.

All the spirits offered are in stock and also available in our store at 3 rue Lucien Faure in BORDEAUX - Line stop B/7/32 Cité du vin
