Del Maguey Mezcal Single Village Wild Maguey Jabalí 750 mL is a rare, complex expression that showcases one of Oaxaca’s most challenging agaves to distill — the wild Jabalí (Agave convallis). Part of Del Maguey’s acclaimed Single Village Series, this mezcal is handcrafted in the rugged highlands of Santa Maria Albarradas, where ancestral methods and patience transform this notoriously foamy, stubborn agave into a spirit of breathtaking purity and depth.

Each batch begins with wild-harvested Jabalí agaves, roasted underground in earthen pit ovens, crushed by a stone tahona, and fermented naturally in open-air wooden vats. The mezcal is then triple-distilled in small copper pot stills, a necessary step to refine Jabalí’s wild, vegetal intensity into balance and clarity. Bottled at 92 proof (46 % ABV), Del Maguey Jabalí delivers a bold, aromatic profile layered with citrus, spice, minerality, and gentle smoke — a true celebration of mezcal mastery.
