A Rare Expression of Bicuixe Agave from Oaxaca

Gusto Historico is a small-batch mezcal producer dedicated to preserving the traditional methods and rare agave varieties of Oaxaca. The Bicuixe Ignacio Juarez is a testament to that mission — a single-producer expression crafted by maestro mezcalero Ignacio Juarez using the slow-growing Bicuixe agave (a variety of Karwinskii), roasted in earthen pits and distilled in clay pots to capture every nuance of the land and the hand behind it.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Earthy smoke, dried herbs, roasted agave, and a hint of tropical fruit with subtle mineral undertones
• Palate: Rich and full-bodied with notes of charred wood, dried mango, dark chocolate, and savory umami depth
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, dried citrus peel, and a clean herbal fade
