Mezcal Amaras Cupreata

Mezcal Amarás is a brand born from our special bond with the sun, the land, and the people who work it. Mezcal Amarás collaborates with Maestro Mezcaleros from Oaxaca and Guerrero, honoring and preserving 500 years of artisanal craftsmanship. Mezcal Amarás invites you into a world of smoothness with perfectly balanced flavors and aroma to enjoy neat or in a cocktail, in moments that transcend time. Artisanally made in Guerrero: We handcraft our mezcal with local producers - Maestro Mezcaleros - in the town of Tixtla on the mountain slopes of the Rio Balsas. To honor their legacy and excellence, we place their signature on all our labels printed. 100% Natural Fermentation: All fermentation occurs naturally with no sulfites in open-air vats, utilizing wild yeast native to the environment. Handcrafted with agave Cupreata: Cupreata is also known as Papalote, which signifies butterfly, because of the way its leaves (Pencas) open up to the sun. This sacred plant grows within the higher jungles 1,000 to 1,500 feet above sea level, under a humid subtropical climate. It is a wild agave that absorbs solar energy 13 years before it matures. Tasting notes: Subtly perfumes the nose with notes of pumpkin seeds, leather, cacao and other tropical aromas. Cupreata is bold, bright and herbaceous, leaving a fresh finish of pepper and spice on the mid-palate. Awards: In 2015, Amarás Cupreata took a Gold medal at the Bruxelles "Concours Mondial" and the San Fransisco World Spirits Competition. It then took double Gold at the WSWA Tasting Competition.
