Mezcalosfera Madrecuixe - Felipe de Jesus
Felipe de Jesús Cortés's solo madrecuishe at a polite spec
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Mezcalosfera de Mezcaloteca

Verdict
Felipe de Jesús Cortés is a capable Mezcalosfera maestro whose solo madrecuishe at 45.64% lands lower on the karwinskii-ceiling ladder than his ensamble work. Reach for his ensambles or Mezcalero Special Bottling No. 1 for madrecuishe at its proper weight. A competent bottle, not a reference one.
Same maestro, same agave, three proof points – the bottle argues for climbing
Tasting notes
Nose: Dry herb, wet slate, underripe pear
Palate: 45.64% with madrecuishe's structural character softened by the lower proof – the agave is audible, but the architectural spine doesn't hold as cleanly as it does on the maestro's higher-proof releases
Finish: Dry, herbal
The bottom line
Pour it. Climb for karwinskii ceiling
