Unlike most agave, whose leaves grow outwards from a central heart or pina rooted on the ground, the Cuishe agave develops as a long vertical stem or trunk with the sugar concentrated near the tip where the pencas remain green and spikey.
Inspired by the passion, traditions, and culture of their native Mexico, brothers Eduardo and Julio Mestre founded Los Siete Misterios in 2010 with the goal of searching and sharing a spirit that represents the customs, culture, and passion of Mexico – Mezcal.
Eduardo and Julio spent years sampling Mezcal from villages across Oaxaca. They met local Maestros Mezcaleros who use traditional techniques honed over generations.
After three years of watching the world fall in love with Mezcal, we noticed an opportunity to reach more people and diversify the way to enjoy Mezcal: through cocktails. The Doba-Yej is bright and floral with beautifully balanced citrus notes, perfect for enjoying neat or in cocktails. Doba-Yej means Maguey Espadín in the ancient Zapotec language and each label features a Mexican war hero. They depict Doña Josefa Ortiz, Father Miguel Hidalgo, and José María Morelos.
