Destilado de Agave Cuish Fieles Difuntos 2024 750ml

This edition of Cuish’s annual offering for Dia de los Muertos, named Fieles Difuntos (Faithful Departed), produced annually at founder Felix Monterrosa’s own family palenque. In the second pass through the still, traditional offerings of the Dia de los Muertos altar—the ofrenda—are added to the mezcal, in much the same style as a pechuga. Marigold is the dominant addition, with seasonal fruits and spices alongside. This year’s edition features a richer profile of warm spices and roots and almost seems comforting on the palate. Although produced in tribute to the deceased, this spirit remains very much alive!
