The Agave cupreata produces a mezcal of exceptional earthiness and savory depth: a nose like sinking into a rich leather chair, a palate of leather, slate, black olive, and meatiness, and a medium-long finish of dark dried black cherries giving way to earthy savory mushroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Like sinking into a rich leather chair — leather, slate, and dark earth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather, slate, a hint of black olive, and meatiness from the wild Agave cupreata\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-long beginning with slightly sweet dark dried black cherries that give way to earthy savory mushroom\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teozacoalco, Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Papalometl \/ Agave cupreata — wild\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless pot with clay condenser and carrizo bamboo tube\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003emezcal at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Papalometl agave?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Papalometl (Agave cupreata) is a wild giant agave named in Nahuatl for the butterfly (papalotl).
