Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

Del Maguey (pronounced ma–gay), Single Village Mezcal was founded in 1995 by internationally renowned artist and Mezcal visionary, Ron Cooper. Ron introduced the world to previously unavailable 100% certified organic, artisanal Mezcal produced the original handcrafted way. Through deep cultural relationships with Zapotec Mexican Indian producers in the remote villages of Oaxaca, Mexico, Del Maguey harnesses ancient, original organic processes. Combining these methods with varying micro-climates and terroir gives each creation its own unique, rich, sweet and smoky character. Every product in their collection is made by individual family palenqueros (producers) in old-style villages. They are the first producer to credit each product after the village where our liquid is made. When you see their beautiful green bottles you know it’s Del Maguey. Most of Del Maguey’s mezcals are distilled to proof, so the ABV will vary slightly between batches.

Vida Clásico is a quality single village mezcal which works as a perfect entry-level mezcal! Del Maguey Vida is highly mixable and the most widely available of the range. Made with 100% organic agave and bottled unblended. Vida Clásico is one of the most commonly used mezcals for cocktails. It can be sipped neat, but it’s typically a cocktail mixer.

Tasting Note:
Lovely, spicy palate with hints of fruit and smoked almond.
