Description

Del Maguey's Santa Catarina Minas expression begins with giant, semi-wild Arroqueno agave in Oaxaca. The hearts roast over hot rocks in a conical pit, covered with earth for three days. Natural fermentation with airborne microbes takes thirty days. The mezcal is then distilled twice in a clay still fitted with bamboo tubing. These steps define the production process behind this single-village expression.

Ripe melon, reminiscent of cantaloupe, leads the palate. Baking chocolate adds a quieter counterpoint to the fruit. A pronounced vegetal note recalls green beans, bringing an earthy element to the profile. The finish is savory and medium to long, carrying the layered flavors beyond the sip.

Serve neat in a copita or stemmed glass. For a Mezcal Old Fashioned, stir with sugar and bitters over ice, then add an orange twist.
