Dixeebe Mezcal

Dixeebe Mezcal (pronounced “dee-sh-bay”) is a project from Asis Cortes and his father, Valentin Cortes. Their family has been producing mezcal in the Santiago Matatlán region of Oaxaca for at least 180 years. The two of them are perhaps most well-known in Mexico and internationally for their previous work with Mezcal El Jolgorio and Nuestra Soledad. Asis and Valentin have now moved on from the Casa Cortes brands and are focused on Dixeebe, along with Asis’ brand in Durango: Origen Raiz. Asis and his father decided to launch Dixeebe as a way to reconnect with their past and support their traditions in the future. The brand launched internationally in March 2022 where it is sold in 375ml bottles. Asis had the idea of smaller bottles to make premium mezcal more accessible.

According to the Asis, Dixeebe is a ceremony of honor of respect and love, the purest thanks to culture, their tradition and their ancestors, a great veneration of liquid, a gift from the gods to men, and an offering from men to the gods. To take a deeper dive into the meaning of Dixeebe, check out the video Asis Cortes Explains Dixeebe.

Lote: DVCCO0420 by Valentin Cortes.
Rich, grapey, and balanced. Some caramel and sweet notes in the taste. This is definitely a coyote, and reminds me of an EJ Coyote I have, although it’s from a different producer. It seems like there is a “grapeness” to these coyotes…not medicinal or bad, but unique in it’s own way.

Nose – Carolina style BBQ sauce (a vinegar note in there to go with the sweetness). Plantain chips. Vanilla bean.

Palate – Vanilla ice cream. Tangy apple cider. Creamy pasta sauce with some blackening spice sprinkled in. Sprite soda. Mesquite smokiness in the finish.

1 oz. sample from Tahona Mercado – great mezcal!

Edition 1 2018. Bottle 2/96. Dixeebe has got to make the best mezcal I’ve had from Matatlan. This coyote is the Americana agave type. This smells like root beer, really pleasant. On the palate I get vanilla extract, sassafras and mint. Really soft on the tongue.
