Del Maguey Espadin Mezcal

Detailed Description

This mezcal comes along with a bit of mystery. Del Maguey, believing that this producer is one of the greats, refuses to release the identity of this maestro, the village where they work, or any details about the production of this mezcal. What can be said is that this is the same maestro mezcalero who produces their legendary Tobala. Espadín is relatively inexpensive compared to other agave types and grows relatively quickly, making it a great way to see the terroir of the region and the hand of the master, even if they remain a mystery.

Del Maguey Espadin Mezcal Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose is big and savory and filled with notes of smoke, butterscotch, orange creamsicle, and burnt sage.

Palate: The palate mirrors the nose with the addition of sweet grilled pineapple, black pepper and red apple.

Finish: It has great balance and is very easy to enjoy this very rich and briny expression of espadín.

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.
