Del Maguey Madrecuixe Mezcal 750ml

Madrecuixe is a wild tall cylindrical maguey like Tobasiche with leaves that grow from the ground up as opposed to Tobasiche that sheds its lower leaves as it grows leaving a bare dry cylindrical piña. These mature Madrecuixes have been earth-roasted, fermented with airborne microbes, twice distilled, unblended the original, centuries-old Oaxacan, hand-crafted way. 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.

Meet 'single village mezcal'. Each bottle in the Del Maguey range credits the village of the family palanqueros who made it. In this ancient process, the heart of the agave is roasted, mashed, naturally fermented with pure water and twice-distilled. The unique flavors of individual Oaxaca and Puebla microclimates and distinctive terroirs make Del Maguey the undisputed - and incomparable - bartender's choice for cocktails and bold, neat sipping.
