We’re excited to announce that, thanks to customer demand, Del Maguey Chichicapa Mezcal is now in stock at Broadway Spirits—a celebrated bottle in the mezcal world.
What Makes It Special
-
Single-Village Authenticity
From the village of San Baltazar Chichicapam in Oaxaca, this mezcal is part of Del Maguey’s curated Village Tradiciones collection. Crafted by palenquero Faustino Garcia Vasquez, it’s a true representation of that locale’s terroir. -
Traditional Craftsmanship
Made from Espadín (Agave angustifolia), the process involves underground roasting in earthen pits, crushing by tahona, wild fermentation, and twice-distillation in wood-fired copper pot stills.
Tasting Notes & Character
- Aroma: Medium nose with light, nuanced smokiness.
- Flavor Profile: Bright citrus and tropical fruit notes—think guava and mango— meld with earthy smoke, mint, and subtle chocolate undertones.
