Del Maguey Vida Clásico is a single village mezcal. It’s made alongside the tropical riverbed in the village of San Luis Del Rio, Oaxaca, where the Red Ant River flows. The agave used is 100% Espadin that’s naturally fermented and then twice distilled in wood-fired copper stills. Vida Clásico is bottled at 42%, unblended, in a "time-honoured" 400-year-old way and makes for an ideal introduction to sipping mezcal.
Vida Clásico comes from Del Maguey, a brand created by mezcal legend and pioneer Ron Cooper. While in Mexico the spirit was always appreciated as a key part of the culture, Cooper helped introduce mezcal to a wider audience in an authentic, loving portrayal rather than as a means to exploit its market potential. Appropriately, Del Maguey makes very fine mezcal.
Spicy and smoky nose with hints of light citrus and hazelnut.
Spiced, fruity palate. Smoked almond, a little light peach juice and hints of potpourri and mixed spices.
Tobacco and cinnamon on the tail.
I was in a nice bar in Athens the other night, I saw this under the tequila options in the menu, and I decided to go for it as I remembered that I had heard some good things about mescal and this brand in particular. I am very glad I made that choice, this stuff is superb! I had some terrible experiences with cheap tequilas in my university years, and this was my first tequila-type drink after many many years (maybe 15), so perhaps I am being too generous with respect to my score, but I loved it.
Muy sabroso. Al principio te golpea pero luego se va suavizando con el tiempo y van apareciendo las notas de sabor que caracterizan a un buen mezcal. No es un mezcal para principiantes. Tiene mucho cuerpo y estructura.
Best mezcal for cocktails and by it self for the price
Nothing as anything I ever tasted. Complex though harmonic. Never tasted the other Del Maguey but this is brilliant
