Del Maguey Madrecuixe Mezcal Single Village

A limited edition from our Vino de Mezcal series made in lush, remote San Luis del Rio, Oaxaca where the Red Ant river flows. Mature Madrecuixes have been earth-roasted, fermented with airborne microbes, twice distilled, unblended the original, centuries-old Oaxacan, hand-crafted way. What color is green? Banana leaf, green papaya, just-mown alfalfa, tarragon and fresh cut bamboo give way to circus peanuts and sweet, fresh-forward tropical fruits of mango, pineapple, and chicozapote. This extremely rare wild mezcal is silky, elegant, medium-bodied, with a long, dry, clean, dusty finish.
