Mezcal Santo Domingo Del Maguey

Del Maguey Mezcal ‘Santo Domingo Albarradas’ is configured as a mezcal with authentic and traditional character, the result of the tradition of a single village in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. In fact, this distillate is part of the ‘Village Tradiciones’ line, which encompasses expressions of the established mezcalera culture from very specific areas of Oaxaca, specifically from the village of Santo Domingo Albarradas, located on a high mountain bordering a misty forest in the Mixe region. This is a tropical territory situated in the southern part of the state of Oaxaca, where the Morales Luis family nurtures the mezcalera tradition of the area by collaborating with Del Maguey for the production of this mezcal.

The ‘Santo Domingo Albarradas’ Mezcal Del Maguey originates from pure Espadin agave grown on the steep mountainous heights of the village of Santo Domingo Albarradas. When the plant has reached perfect ripeness, it is cut to extract the sugary core of the agave, locally called piña due to its appearance similar to that of pineapple. The piña is then cooked and subsequently processed to extract the rich sugary juice contained within. The alcoholic fermentation of the juice occurs completely spontaneously and the fermented product is then subjected to a double distillation process in wood-fired copper stills. The distillate is finally bottled directly, without any wood aging, so as not to alter the character of the territory of Santo Domingo Albarradas.

The Mezcal ‘Santo Domingo Albarradas’ from the Del Maguey production reality has a transparent and crystalline appearance. The delicate aromatic profile consists of aromas of exotic fruit, citrus peel, and pear, combined with almost saline mineral notes. Taste dry, warm, and clean, with spicy and savory sensations in the finish.
