ⓘ You must be aged 18 or above to buy alcohol in the UK.
Amores Mezcal Cupreata Joven is a sweet and rustic mezcal made using a relatively rare type of agave.
Espadín and Cupreata are two single-varietal mezcals reflecting their terroir - 100% Espadín (Angustifolia) agave from Oaxaca State, grown 7 to 10 years; and 100% Cupreata (Papalote) agave, grown for between 8 to 13 years, from Guerrero State. Each batch of Mezcal Amores is subtly different, reflecting the essence and character of the village where the expression is created. It also expresses the individuality and experience of the maestro mezcalero.
Organically grown agave is carefully selected and harvested by hand at the perfect time. Then, mezcaleros cook it with oak chips for a subtle smokiness. A mule-pulled stone wheel (tahona) mills it, then the agave naturally ferments in open wooden vats. Finally the maestro mezcalero personally controls double distillation in a copper still to produce the perfectly balanced spirit.
This mezcal is sweet, almost peaty smoke on the nose, with tropical fruit notes and freshly cooked sweetcorn.
A group of friends founded the brand Mezcal Amores in 2010. After making several trips to different mezcal producing states in the country, they developed a deep rooted love for these regions and this magical spirit.
