Origen Raiz Madrecuishe Oaxaca

The Mother Root, Back to the Source

Origen Raíz Madrecuishe is a rare and distinctive mezcal made from wild Madrecuishe agave — a variety of the Karwinski family whose name means "mother cuixe," one of the most revered wild agave varieties in Oaxacan mezcal production. Madrecuishe grows wild in the rocky hillsides of Oaxaca, takes over a decade to mature, and produces a mezcal of extraordinary mineral complexity and elegance. Origen Raíz — "origin root" in Spanish — is dedicated to returning to the roots of traditional mezcal production, working with indigenous communities and wild agave varieties to produce expressions of genuine authenticity.
