Mayalen Machetazo Mezcal Wild Agave Cupreata

Mezcal Machetazo Wild Agave Cupreata 45% is our original and complex Machetazo variety found only on the mountain slopes of the Rio Balsas basin in the southern Mexican states of Guerrero. The high mountain slopes where this agave grows wild, is ideal for absorbing minerals giving way to a sweeter flavor unique to the cupreata agave, known locally as Maguey Papalote. The age of maturity for Cupreata Agaves varies, but generally occurs at any time from 7-15 years to ensure the ideal concentration of natural sugars and minerals in the heart of the agave, or piña.
