Product Overview
Del Maguey Single Village San Luis Del Río Azul Mezcal – A Rare and Exquisite Expression
Del Maguey’s San Luis Del Río Azul is a limited-edition single village mezcal, crafted from the rare 100% Agave Azul—a variety more commonly associated with tequila but transformed here into an extraordinary mezcal through traditional Oaxacan methods. This expression is a testament to the rich terroir of San Luis Del Río, where the agave is grown at high elevations, meticulously harvested, and slow-roasted in underground earthen ovens.
On the nose, it presents a beautiful interplay of ripe tropical fruit, citrus zest, and soft smoke, with delicate floral and herbal undertones. The palate is exceptionally smooth and layered with notes of roasted agave, honeyed vanilla, and toasted oak, balanced by a gentle minerality and a whisper of spice. The finish is long and refined, leaving hints of baking spices, caramelized citrus, and lingering smoke.
