About this destilado de agave
Cuish Jabali from Jose Santiago was produced in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. The agaves were cooked in an underground pit oven, fermented with open air yeasts with well water, and double distilled in a copper pot still. This was adjusted to proof using the body and heads of the distillation.

Cuish Jabali, bearing a 50% ABV, is a stellar output crafted meticulously by mezcalero José Santiago Lopez. The Jabali agave at its core presents a bright and bold character, a unique find.
The nose is an opening act of complexity, with sugary plum leading the charge. The palate follows suit, unveiling a blend of bright and bold notes, a journey from sweet initiation to a bold, lingering statement.
An excellent representation this expression is a solid choice for those chasing both authenticity and a taste adventure.

165 reviewsSampled at Russell’s Tavern in Fremont in Seattle (shout out to Chuey Agave for the bar recommendation). This expression was really great, lots of anise and complex sweetness. I did not take great tasting notes at the time, but this one really stood out. Balance of sweetness, heat, and lingering flavors made this sample a highlight of the evening. Try and track down a bottle if you are lucky enough to find one.
