About this mezcal
Mezcal Machetazo is made with 100% agave Cupreata in the state of Guerrero. It has slight hints of smoke and it’s citric aroma can make for an enjoyable tasting. This was the first release from Mezcal Machetazo which is a new label from the brand Mezcal Mayalen. Certain bottles are 40% ABV and more recent bottles will be 45% ABV. Mezcal Machetazo has since launched mezcals from the states of Oaxaca and San Luis Potosi.
Machetazo Mezcal
Mezcal Machetazo follows traditional mezcal production processes that have been passed down from generation to generation. The brand offers different varieties of mezcal that are produced in three different states in Mexico: Guerrero, Oaxaca and San Luis Potosí. The name Machetazo symbolizes the complexity and labor of the mezcal production process. With a swing of the machete or machetazo, their mezcaleros mark the beginning of the adventure behind the making of this mystical spirit.

Earthy mezcal with cocoa notes. Quite smooth and long with a decent smokiness.

2 reviewsNo smokiness, doesn’t taste like mezcal at all. What it does taste like is all kinds of awful. Took 2 sips and poured the rest of the bottle down the sink.

464 reviewsNice agave cupreata mezcal and quite cheap. There is a sugary spearmint flavor that dominates with notes of copper and cinnamon. Would definitely like to try it in a cocktail. This was the 80 proof version. Finish tastes a bit burnt. Good value. Curious to try the 90 proof version.
