Description
Mal Bien Niños Viejos Madrecuishe is an artisanal agave spirit produced by mezcalero Victor Ramos and his son Emanuel Ramos in Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. This distinctive expression is crafted from Madrecuishe agave, a slow-growing variety that can take approximately 9–11 years to reach maturity.
The Niños Viejos expression reflects the Ramos family's traditional production methods and the distinctive character of mature Madrecuishe agave. The spirit offers an earthy, mineral-driven profile complemented by roasted agave, herbal complexity, subtle fruit, and smoke. Its vibrant label and small-production character make it an intriguing bottle for enthusiasts of traditional Oaxacan agave spirits.
