Mal Bien Papalote Reposado en Vidrio – Gutiérrez
Mal Bien Papalote Reposado en Vidrio, Gutiérrez is a Destilado de Agave from Chilapa de Álvarez, Guerrero. Emiliano and Tomás Gutiérrez produce this Cupreata spirit using copper distillation. Resting in glass yields a profile that is round and pronounced, featuring aromas of roasted cacao, strawberry frosting, and hay. The palate delivers rich notes of chocolate, dried cherries, figs, and clove with a silky texture. Subtle hints of mint, sea salt, and grassy finishes emerge upon repeated sips. This distilled spirit offers a nuanced evolution of flavors, balancing sweet fruit with earthy spice and a lingering, complex aftertaste.

About the Brand
Since 2016, the Mal Bien team has been traveling Mexico, driving off the map and into mountains filled with treacherous roads, police officers of questionable moral character, feral dogs, indigenous languages, narcos, ancient relics, machete wielding protestors, insect based meals, mudslides, blockades, corrupt politicians, and many of the world’s kindest, funniest, most brilliant people. In addition to some hard to believe stories, they’ve connected with a wide variety of traditional producers, whose mezcal is now bottled and exported under the Mal Bien name.
