Del Maguey Mezcal Single Village Arroqueño Santa Catarina Minas 750mL is a rare and majestic mezcal that showcases one of Oaxaca’s most revered wild agaves — the Arroqueño (Agave americana var. oaxacensis). As part of Del Maguey’s acclaimed Single Village Series, this mezcal is crafted by hand in the historic mezcal-producing village of Santa Catarina Minas, where ancestral clay pot distillation and centuries of tradition bring out the true spirit of agave and terroir.

Made from 100% wild Arroqueño agave, which can take up to 25 years to mature, this mezcal is roasted underground in earthen pit ovens, hand-crushed with wooden mallets, fermented naturally in wooden vats, and double-distilled in small clay pot stills. Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), Del Maguey Arroqueño offers a powerful yet refined profile — full-bodied and earthy with layers of roasted agave, tropical fruit, clay, and gentle smoke. A true collector’s bottle, it represents the pinnacle of traditional mezcal artistry.
