Sanzekan Cupreata from maestro mezcalero Silvestre González García is produced in Topiltepec, Guerrero. The agaves are cooked in an underground pit oven, milled by a shredder, fermented with open air yeasts, and double distilled in copper.
Sanzekan Mezcales
Sanzekan is a collective of mezcaleros from the municipalities of Chilapa de Álvarez, Zitlala, Ahuacuotzingo and Tixtla. These municipalities are located in the central low mountain region of the state of Guerrero. Each of the mezcals is bottled, respecting the work done by each mezcal master, which is why each bottle bears the name and signature of the mezcal master, the town of origin, harvest and the batch number.
The brand and collective are committed to the rational and sustainable management of natural resources. They have various programs that allow them to guarantee the sustainable use: a maguey reforestation program (1.5 million seedlings annually), soil conservation and water retention works, the bagasse resulting from the production of mezcal is used as fertilizer in the fields.

654 reviewsThis is an excellent Cupreata. Also Silvestre is a badass name. Hope to visit one day. This ~47% mezcal is delicate with soft sugary notes of cotton candy, cedar, and peach. The thing I enjoy about good Cupreata mezcals from Guerrero is that they just hit the spot. They are not necessarily overly complex or perfumey; they hold the essence of cooked agave and pure water in a beautiful way. Looking forward to trying more of the Sanzekan US releases. Would be fun to try a Zacatoro from this mezcalero!
