Clase Azul Mezcal Guerrero is made from 100% Agave Papalote, also known as Agave cupreata, and specific to the Guerrero region. The plant grows wild in the mountain range of Guerrero, which is on the coast and has a tropical climate. Agaves cook over the course of three-fo-four days in a pit oven using volcanic rock and firewood from the Guamuchil tree before being distilled using firewood and a copper alembic still. The result is a palate and aroma that go from grapefruit skin and fresh wood to rosemary and peanut oil, with hints of butter and daisy flowers, the company reports.
