Description

Agave Cupreata is the focus of this artisanal joven from Amaras. Indigenous to Mexico, the species grows in rugged terrain. The producer places environmental care and sustainable mezcal production within its approach. Here, the plant's herbaceous character sits alongside roasted agave and smoke, giving the tasting a clear thread to follow.

Smoky agave and roasted maguey lead the aromas, with earthy minerals underneath. The palate opens with smoke before revealing herbs and an almost floral quality. Roasted agave sweetness softens the progression, while a little spice remains. The finish is long, carrying smoke and pepper after the sweeter notes have passed.

Serve neat at room temperature in a traditional mezcal glass or small tumbler. Sip slowly. A fresh orange slice and a pinch of sal de gusano can accompany the pour.

Amaras Mezcal A. Cupreata Joven offers an enticing sensory experience that begins with the nose. As you lift the glass to your nostrils, you'll be greeted with an aromatic bouquet of smoky agave, roasted maguey, and hints of earthy minerals. Swirling it in your glass releases even more inviting scents, evoking memories of a desert landscape after a gentle rain.

Upon your first sip, the mezcal delivers a complex and layered flavor profile. The initial notes are dominated by the signature smokiness of mezcal, which mingles with the herbaceous, almost floral qualities of the Agave Cupreata. There's a pleasant sweetness reminiscent of roasted agave hearts and a subtle spiciness that lingers on the palate. The finish is long, leaving a smoky and peppery aftertaste that invites you to take another sip.
