Madre Mezcal Ensamble is the heart and soul of Madre’s lineup, blending the familiar sweetness of Espadin with the rare, wild Cuishe agave, which makes up just 1-2% of all agave species. Crafted with care by Jose Ines Garcia Morales and his family in San Dionisio, with a touch of Cuishe from the Vazquez palenque in Miahuatlán, this mezcal offers a unique and authentic taste experience that stands apart from the usual smoky mezcal crowd.

Unlike the heavy, smoky profiles many mezcals are known for, this blend strikes a perfect balance. The sweetness of Espadin meets the piquant, almost herbal kick of Cuishe, making it an ideal introduction to mezcal for newcomers and a smooth, everyday choice for seasoned sippers. Each sip reveals layers of flavor: herbal and smoky notes, hints of sage, mineral undertones, and a sweet, earthy fragrance that keeps evolving as you drink.

The finish is clean and lingering, with subtle smoke and floral flavors that invite you back for more. What makes this even better? Each small batch is bottled in recycled glass and hand-numbered, reflecting Madre’s commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship.

Recognized by Vinepair as one of the best mezcals for sipping in 2022, this Ensamble delivers rich tropical fruit and bonfire smoke aromas that flow seamlessly from nose to palate. Its 45% alcohol content enhances the intensity of these flavors without overpowering, creating a well-balanced and approachable mezcal experience.
