Del Maguey Mezcal Single Village Wild Papalome San Pedro Teozacoalco 750mL is a stunningly rare artisanal mezcal that captures the essence of Oaxaca’s wild agaves and centuries-old distilling traditions. Part of Del Maguey’s celebrated Single Village Series, this mezcal is crafted in the remote Mixteca Alta region of San Pedro Teozacoalco, where rugged terrain and ancient methods produce spirits of remarkable depth and authenticity.

Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), Del Maguey Papalome delivers an intricate balance of smoke, minerality, and spice with subtle sweetness and savory notes that linger on the palate. It’s an extraordinary expression of Oaxacan heritage — bold, wild, and unforgettable.
