Negro Mate Cupreata is an artisanal joven mezcal made from 100% Agave cupreata, bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof).
Its label places it in Michoacán, a state known for cupreata grown on mountain slopes.
Cupreata is a wild agave prized for a creamy texture and tropical sweetness.
It balances earthy smoke with bright, floral sweetness.
The tall clear bottle carries Negro Mate's bold black 'NM' emblem, and it is a fine introduction to cupreata for mezcal explorers.
