The fresh, sweet aroma nods to candied lemon peel and vanilla. The palate is more vegetal, mixing those citrusy notes with pine needles, fresh jalapeño and black pepper heat. The drying, rather hot finish reminds that this is an overproof spirit.

Notes

From the rural mountains of Guerrero, this special Mezcal is a total eye-opener. Guerrero has taken a back seat to Oaxaca, but the magnificent products of this tumultuous region are proving to be every bit as unique and complex as their cousins to the south. The "Guerrero" bottling is 100% wild Cupreata bottled at full strength directly off the copper alembic still. It is 100% hand harvested and cooked in earthen ovens much like in Oaxaca. This massive and complex mezcal has a strong herbal kick to it, before pepper and citrus fruit aromas come forth. Rich cacao and herbal spice continue on the finish. Top quality, hand-crafted mezcal at full strength for less than $50. No-brainer.
