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.
