Curado Tequila Blanco Cupreata Agave Infused

Curado Tequila Blanco Cupreata is a 100% Blue Weber blanco infused with wild Cupreata agave from Michoacan, a deliberate bridge between the tequila world and the wild agave world of mezcal. The project comes from the late Tomas Estes of Tequila Ocho together with Carlos Camarena of El Tesoro and Tapatio and the Vantguard family, and its sweet leaning profile pushes it toward the territory of a reposado or light anejo without any time in wood.

The Cupreata infusion brings the earthy, green apple and citrus fruit and spice of a Michoacan and Guerrero maguey to a clean lowland tequila base. The aroma is sweetly grounded with a spicy bouquet of mortared pepper and chilli, while the palate is faceted, with agave sweetness, cooked chilli and white pepper meeting a pleasant acidity. The finish runs long and spicy at 40%.
