The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Madre Mezcal Ensamble is made from a combination of espadín and cuishe agave, produced using traditional methods that include grinding the cooked agave with a horse-drawn tahona, a labor-intensive technique still used by many small Oaxacan palenques. That blend of two agave varieties gives this ensamble more complexity than a single-varietal mezcal.
Expect a nose of roasted agave and earthy smoke, with the cuishe agave contributing herbal, slightly fruity notes alongside the more classic smoky, vegetal character of espadín, leading into a layered palate that balances smoke, earth, and subtle sweetness through to a clean, lingering finish. It's a great introduction to how blending agave varieties changes a mezcal's character.
Sip it neat to explore its layered agave character, or use it in a mezcal Negroni or smoky margarita where its complexity can stand out. Pair it with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a simple plate of Oaxacan cheese. Shop small-batch, traditionally made mezcal online at Habits Bottle Shop and order Madre Mezcal Ensamble today for an authentic taste of Oaxacan craft.

Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
