Tres Papalote mezcal is most commonly known for it’s affiliation with Cheech Marin (of Cheech and Chong). Cheech is a partner in the brand and serves as Tres Papalote’s chief ambassador. The colorful image on the bottle is a selection from Cheech’s personal art collection. When it comes to mezcal, Cheech describes it best: “Mezcal is like tequila but with tattoos and piercings” – Cheech

Tasting Notes

Tres Papalote is sweet and savory with hints of medium smoke and a bit of spice. This spicy and citrusy Mezcal is great in cocktails and also for sipping neat.

Method

Tres Papalote Wild Cupreata Mezcal was previously available in three different expressions, which differed in alcohol content: 40% ABV, 46% ABV, and 50% ABV. Going forward the brand will be releasing this mezcal at 46% ABV. The choice of agave sets the brand apart as most other mezcals available at this price point use farm-grown maguey Espadin (Tres Papalote also has an maguey Espadin mezcal). The Cupreata provides a much different experience. Tres Papalote is sweet and savory with hints of medium smoke and a bit of spice. It’s great in cocktails and also for sipping neat.
