Del Maguey Iberico Mezcal

Del Maguey Iberico Mezcal is a rare and distinctive expression created in collaboration between Del Maguey founder Ron Cooper and Chef Jose Andres with his ThinkFoodGroup team. Inspired by the traditional Del Maguey Pechuga, this mezcal replaces the chicken breast in the still with the legendary Spanish Jamon Iberico de Bellota, a world-renowned ham made from free-range, acorn-fed black-footed Iberico pigs of Spain. Produced with the same dedication and craftsmanship as the rest of the Single Village series, it stands out as one of the most unique offerings from Del Maguey.

Bottle at 49% alcohol by volume (ABV), 98 proof, this mezcal opens with floral aromatics accented by a subtle hint of jamon, balanced with notes of dark fig, green hay, and forest floor. The palate leads to a long finish, featuring layers of umami and the family’s signature earthy flavors, including terracotta, slate-like minerality, and a hint of salinity.

Del Maguey Iberico Mezcal is a beverage crafted to be savored slowly rather than taken as a shot, allowing its complexity and authenticity to shine through. This unique partnership and innovative approach to mezcal-making highlight the artistry and tradition that define the Del Maguey collection.
