Noble Fuego Cuishe
Benjamín Morales's cuishe at 47% – karwinskii from a less-charted town
Score: 3.5/5 agaves

- Region: San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca

- ABV: 47%
- Price: $60 ($$)
Verdict
Cuishe from San Dionisio Ocotepec is a less-documented terroir than Miahuatlán's bicuishe or madrecuishe, and Benjamín Morales's version is a fair entry. No consensus data; our read places it in the mid-4 range – credible, serious, not yet a reference. Pair with a NETA bicuishe for the cross-town comparison.
Cuishe outside Miahuatlán is a karwinskii worth tracking
Tasting notes
Nose: Dry citrus peel, wet stone, green herb, faint wildflower
Palate: 47% cuishe from San Dionisio Ocotepec – karwinskii's leaner side, with Morales's clean, mineral hand
Finish: Mineral, drying – long
