About this bottle

The Madrecuixe agave plant's appearance might make one question if it is indeed a maguey. Tall and slender, after its blades are removed, the piña resembles a short palm tree trunk rather than the typical pineapple. While yields are low, the resulting spirit can be remarkable. Fidencio's Madrecuixe is pit-roasted for five days before undergoing double distillation. This unaged mezcal is bottled at 98.8 proof.

Why there's no score

We have 3 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
