Rest time post cooking: None
Fermentation time: 120

Haven’t had many Cupreatas or Michoacan-origin mezcales to compare to, but this punches well above its price point in terms of depth and uniqueness. Still, wouldn’t hesitate to use in a Paloma or fruity cocktail.
Bottle : 1679 Lot : 10 ABV : 49.61 Nose : Strawberries dominate with notes of cherries. Grappa quality. Taste : Some heat with a numbing effect but no burn. Very different from Oaxacan mezcals. Very fruity. Finish : soft and fleeting. Comments : must drink this out of a mezcal copita to open it up. Glencairin glass does not give it justice…
Big fruity and floral nose, getting red grape specifically, fantastic. To echo another, definitely give this an open-mouth or copita.
A rare cupreata from Michoacán that’s amazingly smooth and flavorful. Exactly what mezcal should be. Remember your geography: Michoacán is a state boarding the state of Jalisco where tequila is made. The crop makes the product and the cupreata agave from Michoacán are unlike anything in the world. This mezcal exemplifies what makes mezcal from Michoacán great. Five stars
A lovely agave cupreata mezcal from a really interesting new brand. At 49.5% there is a nice warmth here but zero bite. There are some notes of raisin, dark cherries, shortbread, and a touch of anise. There are some great mezcals coming out of Michoacan and this is one of them! Lot 7.
