Product Overview
Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal Ameyaltepec
A rare and exceptional expression, Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal Ameyaltepec embodies the deep-rooted traditions and artistry of mezcal-making. Sourced from the remote village of Ameyaltepec in Guerrero, Mexico, this mezcal is crafted using ancestral techniques, honoring the region’s unique terroir and indigenous heritage.
Produced from mature Agave Cupreata, this mezcal is earthy, complex, and deeply aromatic, reflecting the rugged landscape where the agave is cultivated. Roasted in underground pits, naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats, and distilled in handmade clay stills, this mezcal offers an unparalleled depth of flavor.
On the nose, it opens with floral and herbal aromas, interwoven with notes of ripe tropical fruit, cacao, and smoked wood. The palate is rich and full-bodied, delivering layers of roasted agave, peppered spice, dark chocolate, and dried fruit, balanced by a touch of salinity and mineral freshness. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering hints of oak, citrus zest, and soft smoke.
