The story behind it

The maker

Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal was founded in 1995 by visionary artist Ron Cooper. Cooper introduced the world to previously unavailable, traditional mezcals by building relationships with local indigenous producers in Oaxaca.

How it is made

Del Maguey VIDA Clásico is hand-crafted from 100% Espadín agave in San Luis del Río, Oaxaca. The agave hearts are roasted in underground stone pits and naturally fermented, capturing the true essence of its mountain microclimate.
