ZINACANTAN 2023 CUPREATA | 500 ML

This particular batch of Maguey Cupreata (Agave cupreata), was produced following the traditional method of Papalometl, which involves cooking the agaves in a 4-ton conical brick oven, allowed to rest for two days, and then crushed in an electric mill. The fermentation process took place in a pine wood tank using only wild yeasts and lasted for 25 days. The resulting distillate has an impressive 45.5 AVB and was obtained through a single distillation process using a copper still.

The Cupreata plants (Agave cupreata) were meticulously chosen, with only the finest and most mature agave, at least 12 years old. In the end, only 40 liters were obtained from this careful and precise production process.
