Del Maguey Mezcal VIDA Clásico 750mL is one of the most beloved artisanal mezcals in the world — handcrafted for both sipping and mixology. Produced in the lush valleys of San Luis del Rio, Oaxaca, this expression is part of Del Maguey’s acclaimed lineup, known for its commitment to traditional, village-based production and sustainable agave cultivation.

Made from 100% Espadín agave (Agave angustifolia), VIDA Clásico is roasted underground in earthen pit ovens, crushed by a traditional stone tahona, fermented naturally in open wooden vats, and double-distilled in small copper stills. Bottled at 84 proof (42% ABV), this mezcal offers a perfect balance of fruit, smoke, and spice — approachable yet deeply expressive. Its versatility makes it ideal for cocktails like the Mezcal Margarita or Oaxaca Old Fashioned, while remaining complex enough to sip neat.
