A long, cylindrical trunk (which once harvested resembles a huge cigar) is topped with a tall, green bloom of leaves, spreading out from the trunks heart. From this trunk or stem, the Madrecuishe carries a lot of fiber alongside its highly concentrated sugars. A balance of fruity and vegetal notes is a hallmark of the distillate, implying everything from leafy green herbs to sweet carrots to raspberry seeds. From Maestro Mezcalero Maximino Nereo Garca Jarqun (son-in-law of Antonio Corts Aragon), this is an outstanding and surprising examplegreen melon rind dances with the thick aroma of fresh peanut shells and traces of sweet green herbs like cilantro.
