Premium Mezcal Animas Papalote – 750ml Smooth Smoky Flavor

Crafted from sustainably harvested Papalometl (Cupreata) agave matured for eight years under the Oaxacan sun, this small-batch artisanal mezcal embodies tradition and quality. Each bottle tells a story of meticulous hand-processing: slow-roasted in conical ground ovens to infuse deep earthy undertones before being crushed by a hand-hewn volcanic stone grinder. The resulting piñas are fermented in oak wood vats—a rare technique that adds layers of complexity—to be twice distilled through copper pot stills for unparalleled smoothness and clarity.

This Joven-style mezcal skips barrel aging to preserve its vibrant freshness while delivering a bold agave-forward profile certified as 100% pure agave spirit by CONACAMI standards. On the nose, expect honeyed sweetness intertwined with subtle hints of sage and green herbs; on the palate comes an invigorating rush of herbal freshness balanced by cooling menthol notes—a signature of its meticulous craftsmanship.

Ideal for sipping neat or enhancing premium cocktails with authentic earthy-herbal character, this mezcal stands out through its commitment to ancestral techniques combined with modern precision distillation. Unlike mass-produced options relying on industrial methods or additives, every step here prioritizes flavor integrity: from patient plant cultivation to artisanal roasting and double distillation in copper vessels that eliminate impurities without masking character.

For mezcal enthusiasts seeking an unaged yet richly textured spirit rooted in tradition while offering contemporary refinement in taste and production standards—this Papalometl Cupreata expression offers a rare balance between heritage authenticity and accessible drinking pleasure.
