Del Maguey San Luis Del Rio Azu Mezcal 750ml

This maguey Azul is very mature and has been earth-roasted, fermented with airborne microbes, twice distilled, unblended the original, centuries-old Oaxacan, hand-crafted way. In the original 900 bottle edition we had the rare opportunity to taste a crossing of the flavors of tequila Jalisco, and mezcal Oaxaca. Azul has a distinctively creamy mouth feel with bright citrus notes and dried tropical fruit (banana chip). A sweet green herbaceous, wet stone quality appears with a touch of white peppercorn and a medium long 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.
