    Short DescriptionOne of the first two Mezcals brought to the US in 1995 by Ron Cooper, Del Maguey San Luis Del Rio has a spicy, fruity and smoky nose with a high note of citrus.
    Long DescriptionThree hours south of Oaxaca on a two-lane, pot holed highway on route to the Gulf of Tehuantepec is the turnoff to San Luis Del Rio. One takes another 2 hours on a winding, rocky, dirt road. The pueblo is located in a narrow, hot valley, with steep slopes full of Maguey Espadin. The Rio Hormiga Colorada (Red Ant River) flows through it. You may see Paciano Cruz Nolasco, tending his fields. Above the large fields of Maguey, the tops of the mountains are scattered with cornfields, iguanas crawling across the road, the trees and cactus with Bromeliads growing on them. San Luis Del Rio has a spicy, fruity and smoky nose with a high note of citrus. It is creamy, smooth and warming to the palate with a clean finish.

    Vineyard HistoryDel Maguey created the artisanal mezcal category in the US in 1995 and remains the #1 best-selling mezcal brand in the US and world. Every bottle of Del Maguey Mezcal is produced by skilled mezcaleros who produce mezcal using artisanal, time-honored traditions that have been passed on for generations. Del Maguey has been working with the same 10 families since the brand launched in 1995 and some, like Faustino Garcia Vasquez have been producing mezcal for over 50 years
    Product HistoryHand-crafted by individual Zapotec and Mixtec farmer-families, Del Maguey introduced artisanal mezcal to the world in 1995 and celebrates the traditions of ancestral villages that give each unique expression its own rich, complex character. It's a taste of place. Every bottle of Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal tells a story: the union of the agave plant and ancient traditions. Each bottle is an Expression —a story told by the hand of the maker.
