Aguerrido Mezcal
Aguerrido Cupreata – Don Tomás
Aguerrido Cupreata, Don Tomás is a Destilado de Agave aged in glass from Tepehuixco, Guerrero. Tomás Gutiérrez distills eight to fourteen year old cupreata agave in copper stills after shredding the hearts. The spirit rests for approximately one year in glass vessels before bottling at forty six percent alcohol by volume. Ripe banana, melon, and candied lime define the nose alongside a creamy mouthfeel on the palate. Green cantaloupe, brine, coconut, roasted nuts, and earthy spice follow through to a finish of cinnamon, cocoa, and spiced banana.
