Pal 'Alma Guerrero Cupreata (Artemio G.) Destilado de Agave
Curator: Erick Rodríguez (Almamezcalera / Pal 'Alma)
Maestro Mezcalero: Artemio García
Category: Destilado de Agave
Region: Guerrero, Mexico
Sourced from the rugged and biologically diverse mountains of Guerrero, this micro-batch release highlights wild Agave Cupreata (locally known as Papalote). Curated in collaboration with maestro mezcalero Artemio García, this expression embodies generations of local wisdom and traditional craftsmanship. Thriving in steep, rocky terrain, Cupreata yields a spirit of striking complexity, perfectly capturing the wild, untamed terroir of its Guerrero origins.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: A vibrant and inviting nose opens with roasted agave, sweet tropical fruit like ripe mango, and a distinct hit of fresh green herbs. Subtle undertones of damp river stone, wet earth, and a faint wisp of clean smoke emerge as the spirit breathes.
- Palate: Rich and viscous on the entry, delivering an initial wave of baked plantain, citrus zest, and herbal sage. Mid-palate notes evolve into roasted root vegetables, white pepper, and a grounding, saline minerality that balances the natural fruit sweetness.
- Finish: Long, warming, and exceptionally clean. The finish leaves behind lingering echoes of roasted agave hearts, mild spice, and a refreshing breath of mountain air.
Production Highlights
- Agave Species: Wild Agave Cupreata (Papalote) harvested in Guerrero.
- Craftsmanship: Hand-harvested, traditionally roasted in subterranean pit ovens, and distilled using small-batch artisanal methods.
- Batch Details: Limited-release bottling showcasing the distinct craft of Artemio García and the unique terroir of Guerrero.

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.
