Curado Tequila Blanco con Infusión de Agave Cupreata

The Curado Cupreata Blanco Tequila is a unique spirit that blurs the lines between tequila and mezcal. Here’s what you should know:

Key Features:

• Infusion: It starts with a Blanco tequila from the Highlands of Jalisco (often Tequila Ocho Blanco) which is then infused with cooked Cupreata agave from the state of Michoacán. Cupreata agave is typically used in mezcal production, giving this tequila a distinctive character.
• No Barrel Aging: As a Blanco, it is not aged in oak barrels. The slight golden hue comes from the agave infusion.
• Additive-Free: Curado emphasizes that their tequilas have no sugars added and no tricks.
• NOM: 1474, produced at Cía. Tequilera Los Alambiques (same as Ocho).
• ABV: Typically 40%.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Often described as having a deep and rich aroma, sometimes compared to barrel aging, with hints of oregano and smoked paprika. You might also find sweet roasted agave, honey, scorched habanero chilies, earthiness, and smoky notes.
• Palate: Expect a noticeable smokiness with a caramel sweetness balanced by a floral bitterness. Baking spices and pepper are common. Some describe flavors of cooked agave, burnt sugar, and a jalapeño-like oily residue.
• Finish: The finish is often bittersweet with white pepper and toffee brittle notes. Some describe it as long and earthy with lingering spice.

Overall Impression:

Curado Cupreata Blanco Tequila is an intriguing spirit that offers a bridge between tequila and mezcal. The Cupreata agave infusion imparts smoky and sometimes earthy or spicy notes that differentiate it from a traditional Blanco tequila. It’s considered complex and flavorful, suitable for sipping by those who appreciate a departure from the norm, as well as for crafting unique cocktails.
