Del Maguey Vida Mezcal

Del Maguey Vida Mezcal hails from San Luis Del Rio in Oaxaca, Mexico, a region renowned for mezcal production. Launched in 2010, Vida is produced using traditional, artisanal methods, including roasting 100% Espadín agave in earthen pits and double distilling in small, wood-fired copper stills. Del Maguey, founded in 1995 by Ron Cooper, is known for its "Single Village Mezcal" approach, highlighting the unique character of spirits from individual Oaxacan villages and their family producers (palenqueros). Vida was one of the first artisanal mezcals specifically created with cocktails in mind, quickly gaining popularity among bartenders and becoming a widely recognized and accessible introduction to the world of mezcal.

Del Maguey Vida Mezcal introduces a gentle smokiness, a whisper of tropical fruit, and a hint of roasted agave. It’s a fantastic gateway into the world of mezcal and really comes alive in cocktails where that smoke can mingle, think Oaxaca Old Fashioneds or a smoky Margarita.

Del Maguey Vida Mezcal greets you with an aromatic nose of tropical fruit, a hint of honey, and vanilla. Upon tasting, notes of ginger, cinnamon, sandalwood, banana, and tangerine emerge, beautifully balanced by roasted agave. The finish is long, smooth, and gently warming.
