Inspired by the passion, traditions, and culture of their native Mexico, brothers Eduardo and Julio Mestre founded Los Siete Misterios in 2010 with the goal of making a Mezcal that represents the customs, culture, and passion of Mexico. They spent years sampling Mezcal from villages across Oaxaca. In an effort to preserve this ancestral knowledge, Eduardo and Julio teamed up with Maestro Mezcaleros to collaborate on a contemporary approach to traditional Mezcal. This ensemble is a blend of Espad?n and Cuishe.?Unlike most agave, whose leaves (pads) grow outwards from a central heart or pina rooted on the ground, the Cuishe agave develops as a long vertical stem or trunk with the sugar concentrated near the top where the pads remain green and spikey.?This shape resembles a barrel once the leaves are cut, hence why Cuishe is also known as Barrel.
