Mezcalosfera Bicuixe/Madrecuixe/Verde was produced in Miahuatlan, Oaxaca in June 2017 and released in the US in December 2017.
Mezcalosfera Bicuixe, Madrecuixe, y Verde is an ensamble of three beautiful agave that are all in the Karwinskii family. This mezcal is 50% agave Bicuixe, 40% agave Madrecuixe, and 10% agave Verde. This was made by mezcalero Emanuel Ramos in Miahuatlan, Oaxaca.
Mezcalosfera de Mezcaloteca is the exported bottling from Mezcaloteca, the famous bar in Oaxaca City that is renowned for their educational tastings. They source all of their agave spirits directly from producers in seldom-traveled parts of Oaxaca that are often hard to get to. They put an exceptional amount of information on their labels, and all of their releases are very small batches that exhibit the most unique characteristics of mezcal. Though only a few batches have been brought into the US, there are dozens upon dozens of different varieties available for sale at their tasting room in Oaxaca City. Most of their spirits are labeled "Aguardiente de Agave", however all of their limited exports are certified "Mezcal". These mezcals are imported into the United States by Heavy Metl Premium Imports, which also imports popular brands Mezcal Real Minero and Rey Campero Mezcal.

Sweet aromas of peanuts, potatoes, and chick peas. Very nice on the palate. This doesn’t blow me away like some other Mezcalosfera, but still really tasty. It’s deep and bit dark. Notes of over-ripe mango, cantaloupe, and some sharpness on the backend. This might need to open up a bit, but liking this.

Emanuel Ramos produced the 3rd Mezcalosfera export which was also an ensamble. This is a delicious agave Karwinskii ensamble. Mid-palate, minerals from the Miahuatlan water source deliver flavors of wet stone and salt. There is a richness here with leathery spice which is present in his other mezcal. This one has a sharp dry finish of carmelized sugar, lavender, and lemon.
