Detailed Description
Driving through the villages, in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico you’ll come across several “palenques” or distilleries each telling a tale. The stories coming out of their stills are of a particular place: the soil, the elevation, the growing seasons, the species of agave as well as the skill and sensibilities of the mezcalero (distiller). The Del Maguey “Chichicapa” comes from the valley floor of the village of Chichicapa, made entirely from agave espadín and hand-crafted by Faustino Garcia Vasquez.
Del Maguey Chichicapa Mezcal Tasting Notes
Nose: The Del Maguey Chichicapa has a relatively light nose.
Palate: It is deep and sweet on the tongue with lots of citrus and a complex character.
Finish: It has a long finish with developing smokiness and a hint of chocolate and mint at the end.
Distillery Information
Del Maguey (pronounced ma–gay) Single Village Mezcal was founded in 1995, and they’ve been one of the most innovative and trail-blazing international spirits brands since. Their founder, Ron Cooper, is largely credited for the current growing popularity of Mezcal on the international market. His dedication to Mezcal and the country of Mexico, where Del Maguey is produced, has helped to dispel many of the worm-in-bottle and other negative stereotypes that surrounded Mezcal for years.
