Aguerrido Cupreata - Don Tomás
Don Tomás's Tepehuixco cupreata – a quieter Aguerrido release
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Aguerrido Mezcal
- Maestro: Tomás Gutiérrez
- Region: Tepehuixco, Guerrero
- Agave: Cupreata
- ABV: 46%
- Price: $100 ($$)
Verdict
Don Tomás's Tepehuixco cupreata runs leaner and drier than Pantitlán, the quieter Guerrero village in the Aguerrido catalog, and the most useful for side-by-side learning. Less structural drama than Benigno's or Erika's releases; same producer's hand. Buy it to learn the range, not to headline the evening.
