This is an exceptional choice for those looking to immerse themselves in the historic mezcal traditions of the Oaxaca region. "Del Maguey San Luis del Rio Azul" is a unique spirit crafted at an altitude of approximately 8,000 feet, using blue agave ("Azul") typically reserved for tequila, roasted for 3 to 8 days and fermented for up to 14 days.
Aroma: spicy, fruity, and smoky, revealing notes of an old mango grove, lime, cocoa, and minerals.
Taste in the mouth: exceptionally creamy, featuring citrus and dried tropical fruits, herbs, wet stones, and white pepper, leaving a long, sweet finish.
Serving recommendations and pairing: best enjoyed neat in a wide glass (such as a copita), pairs wonderfully with dark chocolate, citrus fruits, or spicy Mexican cuisine.
