Named for the three tribes that first settled the region, Tres Tribus is a small batch artesanal mezcal hand-crafted by fifth generation mezcalero Juan Antonio Coronel in the remote mountains of Oaxaca.

A descendant of the Zapotec and Mixtec people, Coronel’s family has long handed down the secrets of mezcal.

These time-honored traditional techniques bring forth pure, rich and complex profiles of the wild agave foraged from the region’s lush, pine-covered forests.

Tres Tribus is committed to preserving Oaxaca’s flourishing biodiversity.

Juan Coronel has a replanting program that replenishes agave harvested in the wild as well as trees used in the production process. For every wild agave he harvests, he replants four new ones. He also replants between 1,000 and 3,000 trees each year.

These include Encino oak trees, as well as pine, jarilla and fruit trees, such as peach and apple.

Mezcal Cuishe has a completely distinct flavor profile includes elegant herbal notes of rosemary, as well as hints of vanilla and cinnamon along with tangy blue cheese.
