The story behind it

The maker

Founded by visionary artist Ron Cooper in 1995, Del Maguey has been instrumental in preserving traditional Zapotec distillation methods. By partnering directly with indigenous family producers in Oaxaca, Del Maguey created a sustainable, fair-trade relationship that protects ancient heritage.

How it is made

Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal was founded in 1995 to introduce the world to artisanal, hand-crafted mezcals made by individual family producers. Each expression is named after the specific village where it is distilled in traditional wood-fired copper or clay stills.
