Description

Del Maguey brings you a collection of Single Village
Mezcal made in the lush, remote mountains, plains and valleys of Oaxaca
(wa-haka), Mexico. Each mezcal is named for the village where it is
made.

Chichicapa has a medium nose and a complex taste with lots of citrus
and a long, smooth finish with overtones of mint. The pueblo elevation
is 5052 ft. (1540 meters) in a broad valley with a desert and tropical
micro-climate.

Del Maguey mezcals are twice distilled and unblended from 100% mature
agave Espadin and are produced the original, 400-year-old hand-crafted
way. Production is limited to exclusive quantities per year to preserve
quality. There are no chemicals, colorings or additives ever used in any
Del Maguey, Single Village Mezcal.
