Cinco Sentidos Cuishe Review
Produced from wild-harvested Cuishe, this mezcal — technically sold as an uncertified agave spirit) —was roasted with mesquite firewood, and hand-chopped and mashed prior to fermentation. Its profile is lithe and clean, serving rich helpings of pineapple, jalapeño, and mineral notes. Smoke is an afterthought, and one that adds just a touch of savory character to the palate and finish.
