Cinco Sentidos Mezcal - Bicuixe-Madrecuixe

This limited-release Cinco Sentidos bottling of Bicuixe-Madrecuixe is a post-distillation blend of two batches made by maestro mezcalero Atenogenes Garcia in 2013 and 2014. He and his son José harvested cultivated Madrecuixe and wild Bicuixe agave to craft a spirit that is wildly aromatic with notes of dill, fennel, pine needle, grapefruit rind and petrichor on the nose. The palate is a delightful mix of anis, spring flowers, salty caramel and anis. The finish is mellow yet prolonged.
