This exceptional mezcal from the village of San Luis Del Rio in the Oaxaca region surprises with a synthesis of traditional Espadín agave character and unusual maturation in French oak barrels. The result is a highly complex, elegantly smoky, and refined flavor profile that bridges Mexican terroir with European winemaking traditions. This Del Maguey Special Cask Finish edition was aged for 5,124 hours in a French oak cask that previously held Cognac from the Jarnac region, and is limited to a release of only 450 bottles.
The aroma intertwines the sweetness of roasted agave, gentle campfire smoke, and notes of vanilla and dried dark fruits.
On the palate, the spirit is rich and round, featuring pronounced accents of caramel, cinnamon, fresh spices, and oak tannins, accompanied by a long, warming finish.
Sip it neat at room temperature from a traditional copita or a wide tulip-shaped glass.
It pairs perfectly with grilled red meat, rich BBQ dishes, or dark chocolate with sea salt.
