Mal De Amor Madrecuishe/Coyote Ensemble Mazcal

This is soft and pretty with cooked tropical fruits, and a slight mint tone aromas. The palate is also soft and pretty with the fruits coming forward on the palate then bringing in the clay and slight smoke note. D&M Tasting Notes

The agave Coyote (agave karwinskii latrans) is endemic to the Amatlánes region of Oaxaca and is related to the agave Madre Cuishe. The seeds of a Coyote plant can produce different varieties of agave and its flowers can also pollinate and be pollinated by other types of agaves. When the seed germinates, it is not uncommon for the resulting plants to be hybrids of agave Tobalá, Espadín and Tepextate. In indigenous cultures of North America, the coyote can, according to legend, take several different forms. It is for this reason, that the indigenous people of Oaxaca have named this plant after the mythological coyote. Importer Notes
