Guerrero, in southwestern México, is at a height of 1870 meters above sea level. Papalote (Agave cupreata) is one of the most prevalent agave in the region and has wide elegant leaves (pencas), like a mammoth version of Agave potatorum (aka Tobalá or Papalométl).

After 8–15 years, when the maguey reaches its maturity, the reproductive stalk (quiote) is cut (capón) to redirect its sugars and concentrate them in the plant’s heart for a further three years. The resulting spirit is rich and expressive, with a lingering finish that can haunt the palate for hours.
