Del Maguey Santo Domingo Albarradas Mezcal

Del Maguey Santo Domingo Albarradas Mezcal is a beautiful Espadin expression produced by the Morales-Luis family in the mountain village of Santo Domingo, located in the Mixe region south of Oaxaca. This high-altitude tropical zone resembles parts of Hawaii, where tropical plants and fruits thrive alongside mountain streams and cool gray mists roll through pine-covered valleys. Introduced to the United States in 1995 as part of Del Maguey’s Single Village collection, this mezcal reflects the honesty, tradition, and expertise that define the brand.

Bottled at 48% alcohol by volume (ABV), 96 proof, like all Del Maguey Single Village Mezcals, it is a spirit to be savored slowly, never shot, to fully appreciate its depth. The profile opens with a high, light nose filled with citrus overtones and roasted pear. On the palate, layers of tropical fruit unfold, accompanied by spicy, woody notes, finishing clean and dry. The combination of altitude, climate, and artisanal production methods yields a mezcal that is both vibrant and well-balanced.

Del Maguey Santo Domingo Albarradas Mezcal has garnered acclaim, earning 95 points and being named a finalist in the Extraordinary category of the Ultimate Spirits Challenge. This mezcal is a testament to tradition, terroir, and craftsmanship, offering a unique and memorable drinking experience from one of Oaxaca’s most remarkable regions.
