Fidencio Madrecuixe Mezcal

The Mother Cuixe of Oaxaca

Fidencio Madrecuixe is a rare and distinctive mezcal made from Madrecuixe agave — a wild variety of the Karwinski family whose name translates to "mother cuixe," reflecting its status as one of the most revered and complex agave varieties in Oaxacan mezcal production. Madrecuixe grows wild in the rocky hillsides of Oaxaca, takes over a decade to mature, and produces a mezcal of extraordinary mineral complexity and elegance. Fidencio produces this expression using traditional artisanal methods in Santiago Matátlan.
