CUISH Mezcalería was founded by Félix Hernández Monterrosa in Oaxaca in 2009. It was one of the first centrally located, hubs for mezcal culture, art, and community, consistently offering some of the highest quality spirits available. In 2019 the brand expanded to export select bottlings of small batch agave spirits, each one carefully selected from producers and communities. Among the offerings, there are women distillers represented, highlighting the tradition of maestras mezcaleras from different regions. While just a handful of spirits are available in select markets around the world, CUISH is one of the most celebrated brands for both the sheer quality of what’s in the bottle, as well as their commitment to being good community members.
