Mezcal from the Chichicapa region of Oaxaca comes from Del Maguey, a producer known for working with small-scale palenqueros, the traditional mezcal makers who still roast agave in underground pits and distill in copper alambiques. This expression is made from agave Espadin, the most widely cultivated agave for mezcal, grown and processed in Chichicapa's specific terroir.
Expect the smoky, mineral character typical of mezcal made this way, with earthy undertones and the subtle vegetal complexity that comes from pit-roasted agave. The spirit carries enough structure to sip neat or over ice, and works well in cocktails where you want that smoke to anchor the drink rather than fade into the background.
