About this destilado de agave
Mama Chuy Madre Cuishe Destilado con Yerba Santa + Cafe from Ageo Cortes is produced in Miahuatlan, Oaxaca. After shaving the agave hearts, Ageo roasts them below ground in an earthen oven for 8-10 days. The oven is fueled by a blend of local woods (Encino, Mesquite, Palo de Aguila & Yegareche) atop volcanic rocks, covered with soil. He then takes the fresh cooked agave, mills them using an ox-drawn tahona & transfers the agave into cypress wood vats where they ferments using well water. This mezcal was distilled a second time with yerba santa from Cortes’ family farm and coffee sourced from Chiapas in a small Refrescadera copper pot still.
