Qixo Mezcal Cupreata is an artisanal mezcal distilled from Agave cupreata, a wild agave that grows on the mountain slopes of Guerrero and Michoacán in south-western Mexico. It is bottled at 40% ABV, a gentle strength that makes this wild agave mezcal smooth and approachable.
Agave cupreata is the signature plant of Guerrero mezcal. It grows from seed rather than from offshoots, takes many years to mature, and is harvested from the hillsides where it grows, which gives mezcals made from it a lively, green and herbal character quite different from the more common espadín.
The clear bottle with its bold black label and agave emblem is presented in a black box, making Qixo an elegant gift for someone discovering wild agave spirits.
For drinkers who want to explore beyond espadín without the intensity of a high-proof bottling, Qixo Cupreata is an easy way into one of Mexico's most distinctive agaves.
