Mezcal Machetazo Wild Agave Cupreata 45% is our original and complex Machetazo variety found only on the mountain slopes of the Rio Balsas basin in the southern Mexican states of Guerrero. The high mountain slopes where this agave grows wild, is ideal for absorbing minerals giving way to a sweeter flavor unique to the cupreata agave, known locally as Maguey Papalote. The age of maturity for Cupreata Agaves varies, but generally occurs at any time from 7-15 years to ensure the ideal concentration of natural sugars and minerals in the heart of the agave, or pia.

Mezcal Machetazo by Mayalen follows a traditional mezcal production process that has been passed down through generations. The brand Machetazo offers different varieties from 3 states in Mexico: Guerrero, Oaxaca and San Luis Potos. The name of our mezcal symbolizes a part of the complex and labor intensive process behind the mezcal production. With a swing of the machete or machetazo, our mezcal masters mark the beginning of the adventure behind the making of this mystical spirit.
