Tres Papalote Wild Cupreata Mezcal 750 ml

Discover the authentic spirit of Guerrero with Tres Papalote Wild Cupreata Mezcal 750ml, an artisanal mezcal crafted exclusively from 100% wild Cupreata agave that grows naturally in the rugged mountain landscapes of southern Mexico. Harvested after approximately seven years of maturation, each agave is carefully selected and transformed using traditional mezcal-making techniques that have been preserved for generations.

Under the supervision of the brand's Maestro Mezcalero, the agave piñas are roasted in underground earthen pits, crushed, naturally fermented, and distilled by hand to preserve the unique character of the wild Cupreata variety. The result is a mezcal with a delicate balance of herbal freshness, gentle smoke, and vibrant citrus notes that beautifully express the terroir of Guerrero.

The nose opens with aromas of fresh herbs, citrus peel, roasted agave, and light smoke. The palate delivers flavors of sweet cooked agave, herbal earthiness, mineral notes, pepper, and soft smoky undertones, finishing long, clean, and elegantly smoky. It is excellent enjoyed neat, with traditional orange slices and sal de gusano, or in elevated mezcal cocktails.
