Del Maguey Mezcal Single Village Chichicapa 750mL is one of the most iconic and beloved expressions in Del Maguey’s legendary Single Village Series — a benchmark for artisanal mezcal around the world. Crafted in the remote village of Chichicapa, located 7,000 feet above sea level in Oaxaca, this mezcal perfectly balances earthy agave sweetness with the smoky complexity that defines traditional mezcal.

Made from 100% Espadín agave (Agave angustifolia), Del Maguey Chichicapa is produced using time-honored artisanal methods: the agave is roasted underground in earthen pit ovens, stone-crushed by a tahona, fermented naturally with wild yeasts in open-air wooden vats, and double-distilled in small copper stills. Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), this mezcal delivers a smooth, full-bodied experience with vibrant notes of citrus, roasted agave, and smoke. A true reflection of place, tradition, and passion, Chichicapa is mezcal at its finest — authentic, soulful, and unforgettable.
