El Occidental Description
Embrace the bold and intense character of the mountains of Guerrero with El Occidental Papalote (Cupreata) Mezcal. Crafted from the wild-harvested Agave cupreata—known locally as Papalote—in the high-altitude, semi-warm microclimate of Axaxacualco, this mezcal is a stunning showcase of its rugged terroir.
Nose: Intense and complex, dominated by a sweet and captivating floral bouquet. Notes of tropical fruit and bright, fresh herbs (such as mint or pine resin) are beautifully balanced by an earthy hint of tobacco and a clean smoky undertone.
Palate: Crisp, herbal, and mineral-driven. The texture is surprisingly creamy, carrying distinct flavors of green pepper, citrus zest, and a persistent minerality. Hints of clove and tobacco add sophisticated complexity.
Finish: Long, warming, and expressive, with a smooth texture that leaves a lingering floral and sweet herbal note, showcasing the spirit's remarkable depth.
