Why choose Mezcal Arroqueño de Quiéreme Mucho?

The maguey arroqueño is the “grandfather” of agaves; a time capsule that requires up to 20 years to mature. At Quiéreme Mucho, we transform this wild giant from San Pedro Taviche into a mezcal arroqueño of legendary character, where the patience of the earth becomes liquid elegance.

  • Sensory Depth: A robust profile that tastes of wet earth and bitter chocolate. The ultimate expression of agave arroqueño with a subtle and persistent smoky finish.

  • Suavidad de Autor: Distilled by hand to achieve a silky texture. It is a complex spirit that caresses the palate, eliminating the aggressiveness of industrial alcohol.

  • Art in every drop: Just as agave takes decades to grow, each bottle is a unique piece of hand-painted Zapotec art. A jewel both inside and out.

The Value of Authenticity: Liquid Art vs. Commercial Mezcal

Frequently asked questions about our mezcal arroqueño

Why is he said to be the Father of the Swordsman?

Genetically, the Arroqueño is the wild ancestor of the Espadín(Agave Angustifolia). They share DNA, but the Arroqueño is the “wild, giant and long-lived” version. If you like Espadín, Arroqueño will make you fall in love because it is a deeper, more complex and sweeter version of that profile.

Absolutely. In 18 years, the agave absorbs the history of the climate: droughts, rains, minerals. That concentration of time translates into a flavor density (dry extract) that no young agave can replicate. You don’t drink alcohol, you drink time.

Look for the “chocolate” or “coffee” note in the aftertaste and an oily texture in the glass. Fake or young Arroqueños are thin and only taste grassy. Ours leaves slow “legs” (tears) in the glass, a sign of its richness in ripe sugars.
