Machetazo Mezcal Cupreata 750ml 45.0%

Machetazo Mezcal Cupreata – The Bold and Authentic Spirit of Guerrero

Embark on a robust Mexican adventure with Machetazo Mezcal Cupreata. Distilled in the state of Guerrero, this authentic artisanal spirit is made from 100% wild-grown Cupreata agave. The name "Machetazo" pays homage to the traditional swing of the machete used by the jimadores to harvest the agave by hand. The Cupreata agave, known for its challenging cultivation and steep mountain terrains, yields a highly sought-after liquid that is distinctively herbal, earthy, and profound. Presented in a premium 750ml bottle, it brings the unyielding spirit of Guerrero straight to your glass.

Bottled at a powerful 45.0% ABV, this mezcal commands attention. The higher proof ensures that the intricate flavors of the roasted agave and wild terroir are beautifully preserved, offering a rich and punchy tasting experience. Whether you are a purist who loves to sip mezcal slowly to decode its layers, or a mixologist looking for a smoky backbone that won't get lost in complex cocktails, Machetazo Cupreata is a versatile and exceptional choice.

Why Choose Machetazo Mezcal Cupreata?

• Authentic Guerrero Terroir: Crafted from Cupreata agave from the mountains of Guerrero, delivering a uniquely herbal and floral profile that stands apart from standard Oaxacan mezcals.
• Traditional Craftsmanship: Produced using ancestral techniques—cooked in earthen pit ovens, crushed, fermented in open vats, and double-distilled in copper stills.
• Robust 45.0% ABV: The higher alcohol by volume acts as a perfect flavor carrier, giving the spirit a fuller body and ensuring its smoky, complex notes shine through in any mixed drink.

Tasting Notes (Sensory Profile)

• Appearance: Luminous and crystal clear, with a thick viscosity that leaves gorgeous legs on the glass.
• Aroma: Intense and inviting. A complex blend of fresh herbs, roasted agave, dark chocolate, and a prominent, savory campfire smoke.
• Palate: Bold, warm, and mouth-coating. It opens with vibrant notes of green pepper and jalapeño, rounding out into sweet citrus, damp earth, and a rich, peaty smokiness.
• Finish: Long, warming, and deeply satisfying, leaving a trailing spice and a lingering memory of sweet, roasted agave.

Serving Suggestions

To honor its robust profile, sip Machetazo Cupreata neat in a veladora (traditional mezcal glass) alongside fresh orange slices sprinkled with sal de gusano (agave worm salt). For mixology, its 45.0% ABV makes it an outstanding base for spirit-forward cocktails like a Smoky Old Fashioned, a Mezcal Negroni, or a bold Mezcal Margarita that requires a strong agave presence.
