Crafted in the lush, mountainous region of Tixtla, Guerrero, Mexico, Mezcal Amarás Cupreata is an artisanal mezcal made from wild Agave Cupreata (locally known as Maguey Papalote), which takes 7 to 13 years to mature on steep, forested slopes. The harvested piñas are artisanal-cooked in traditional underground conical stone pits using oak wood, shredded with a mechanical axis cutter or hand-chopped, and fermented in open-air wooden vats with natural wild airborne yeasts. Double-distilled in copper pot stills, this unaged expression highlights the unique terroir of Guerrero, offering a bright, herbaceous, and fruit-forward profile with soft mesquite smoke and subtle floral elegance.
Food Pairing: Fresh ceviche with mango, grilled shrimp skewers, roasted pork carnitas, fresh goat cheese, citrus salad, or dark chocolate with orange peel.
Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with luminous clarity, a silky medium body, and clean, delicate tears.
Nose: Vibrant and herbaceous, opening with sweet cooked agave, fresh pumpkin seeds, and bright orange blossom, backed by gentle wood smoke, bell pepper, light mint, and subtle tropical fruit.
Palate: Smooth, round, and herbal on the palate, featuring caramelized agave nectar, ripe melon, and sweet citrus upfront before unfolding into soft oak smoke, cracked white pepper, green herbs, and mild earthy minerality.
Finish: Medium-long, clean, and refreshing with lingering notes of sweet agave, gentle wood smoke, herbal spice, and a zesty citrus lift.
Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a traditional clay copita or a Glencairn glass to allow the complex herbal and floral aromas of the wild Cupreata agave to fully open.
