Del Maguey Mexcal Arroqueno 750 ml

Del Maguey Arroqueño Single Village Mezcal is a rare, traditionally crafted mezcal produced in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca from the massive, semi-wild Arroqueño agave. This remarkable agave can require up to 18 years to mature, giving the spirit an extraordinary foundation for developing rich, complex flavors. Del Maguey places Arroqueño within its Village Varietales Collection, which highlights distinctive agave varieties and the traditional methods of the families who produce them.

The agave piñas are roasted in a conical earthen pit over hot rocks for three days, followed by an extended wild fermentation. The mezcal is then distilled using the ancestral clay stills traditional to Santa Catarina Minas. Bottled at a verified 49% ABV (98 proof), Del Maguey Arroqueño delivers a fascinating combination of ripe fruit, chocolate, vegetal character, earth, and minerality.
