Cuishe
A selection of wild agaves of the species Karwinskii, with 14 to 20 years of maturity, in a dry habitat of the Southern Mountain Range and the Central Valleys of Oaxaca grown up over limestone lands with few rains in an altitude of 700 to 1500 meters above sea level. Given the low performance of the sugars and their rareness, the mezcal productions of this agave are limited and unique.
