Amaras Mezcal Cupreata is a unique spirit that showcases the rich biodiversity of Mexico’s terroir. It is crafted from the wild Cupreata agave, which grows at high altitudes in the Guerrero and Michoacan states. This particular agave species imparts a distinctive flavor profile to the mezcal, characterized by deep notes of sweet fruit and light touches of tropical nuances. The production process involves traditional methods such as roasting in earthen pits and natural fermentation, which further enhance its complex taste.
On tasting, Amaras Mezcal Cupreata reveals an intriguing balance between sweetness and smokiness. The initial palate is greeted with flavors of ripe pineapple and banana, followed by subtle hints of cocoa and aniseed. As it evolves on the tongue, it introduces a gentle smoky undertone that complements rather than overpowers its fruity essence. The finish is long-lasting with a pleasant warmth that lingers on the palate. This mezcal’s complexity makes it not only enjoyable to sip neat but also versatile for mixology applications.

Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit made primarily from the agave plant, with EspadĂn being the most common variety used. This unique spirit is characterized by its distinct smoky flavor, which results from roasting agave hearts in earthen pits before distillation. Mezcal can be enjoyed in various forms: unaged (Joven), aged for at least two months (Reposado), or aged for a minimum of one year (Añejo), each offering different complexities and flavor profiles.
The aroma of mezcal often features earthy notes complemented by citrus, herbs, and sometimes floral or fruity undertones, creating a rich sensory experience. Its texture ranges from smooth to full-bodied depending on the aging process. Mezcal is versatile in cocktails, commonly used in drinks like the Mezcal Margarita and Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, but it is also appreciated neat or on the rocks to fully savor its intricate flavors.
