The Story of In Situ Cuixito
Cuixito is a smaller subspecies of Agave karwinskii, though the name means different things in different places. The distillates from this area show only subtle hints of the typical karwinskii profile. The agave is cooked in an earthen oven, milled by hand with wooden mallets and a mechanical crusher, fermented in open-air oak vats and distilled twice in Filipino-style clay pot stills at still strength. Bottled under the In Situ label by Mezcasiarca (NOM EM-012-SC).
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Subtle and savory, with granite, haricot vert, sage, catnip, jasmine and lemon zest
- Palate: Pepitas, fennel, stewed raisins, paprika, papaya, a touch of brine and maybe a dry scone
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat at room temperature from a copita.
