La Medida Bicuishe Antonio Mezcal is a 100% Bicuishe (Agave karwinskii) mezcal from Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, made by Maestro Mezcalero Antonio Cortés Aragón. It is bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof; may vary by batch) in a 750ml bottle, also available in 200ml.

The Story of La Medida Bicuishe

The agave is cooked in a conical earthen oven and crushed with a traditional stone tahona drawn by a bull. It ferments in open-air wooden tanks and is distilled twice in copper pot stills with a hybrid refrescadera condenser. Piney and fibrous, it is a beautiful example of one of the many subspecies of Agave karwinskii; Bicuishe is a term rarely used in commercial production outside Miahuatlán.
