Hacienda Oponguio Frutal: A Symphony of Sweetness and Warmth
The Unique Appeal of Agave Inaequidens
Introducing Hacienda Oponguio Frutal, presented in a 750ML bottle, a mezcal that stands as a testament to the rich, fertile lands of Erongaricuaro, Michoacán. This exceptional spirit is carefully crafted from Agave inaequidens, known for its prolonged maturation period of 20-25 years. The Frutal expression is derived from agaves harvested during the warmer months, resulting in a higher sugar content that imparts a unique sweetness and complexity to the mezcal.
A Palate of Tropical Delights
Hacienda Oponguio Frutal is a celebration of flavor. Every sip offers a journey through a tropical paradise, with notes of sweet peppers, ripe papaya, grilled pineapple, and a refreshing hint of spearmint. This blend of flavors creates a rich, warm, vibrantly fruity mezcal. It's ideal for those who savor a spirit with depth, character, and a sweet, spicy edge.
Embracing the Heat
What sets the Frutal expression apart is its bold, invigorating warmth. This mezcal brings more heat than its Herbal and Seco counterparts, making it a favorite for those who appreciate a mezcal with a spirited kick. The Frutal expression is bold in the mezcal world, perfect for sipping on its own or as a dynamic component in innovative cocktails.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
