Del Maguey Mezcal Single Village San Luis Del Rio 750mL is an exceptional handcrafted mezcal that captures the heart and spirit of Oaxaca, Mexico. Part of Del Maguey’s acclaimed Single Village series, this mezcal is produced using traditional methods in the remote village of San Luis Del Rio, located in the lush valley along the Rio Hormiga Colorada.

Made from 100% Espadín agave, it’s roasted in earthen pits lined with river stones, fermented naturally with wild yeasts in open wooden vats, and double-distilled in small copper stills. Bottled at 84 proof (42% ABV), this mezcal delivers a vibrant and complex flavor profile — smoky yet smooth, with layers of tropical fruit, spice, and roasted agave. Del Maguey San Luis Del Rio exemplifies the artistry of mezcaleros who craft each bottle entirely by hand, connecting every sip to centuries of Oaxacan tradition.
