About this destilado de agave

Aguerrido Zacate Limon from Erika Meneses is produced in Atempa, Guerrero using Agave cupreata. Doña Erika cooks her agave in a pit oven, mills the cooked agave using a shredder, ferments the agaves with open air yeasts, and double distills in a copper alembic still. In this release, she distills the agave with lemongrass. Batches will vary based on agave capon time frames and time aging in glass. Check your bottle for details.

The brand is a union of maestros mezcaleros from Chilapa, Guerrero including Don Refugio, Don Ciro (R.I.P.), Don Tomás, Don Benigno, Dona Gabina, y Don Antonio.

2021 batch: Nose is a nice lemon, earthy, grass smell, & dry. The palate is a bit over whelming with the lemon grass taste.

This was good as a one off but I would not buy a bottle.

2021 batch. This is a left turn from all of the other Aguerrido offerings because it’s distilled with lemongrass. On the nose, I get lemon cookies. The palate is similar, spicy lemongrass bomb. The lemongrass overrides the other cupreata notes. This is more of a novelty mezcal for me, unique and enjoyable, but wouldn’t need a full bottle.
