Del Maguey San Luis Del Rio Mezcal: Earthy & Fruity

Del Maguey San Luis Del Rio Mezcal is a single-village expression that captures the soul of artisanal mezcal production. Distilled in the remote village of San Luis del Río, Oaxaca, this mezcal is crafted using 100% Espadín agave grown at high altitudes along steep hillside slopes above the Rio Hormiga Colorada. Produced using centuries-old techniques, it offers a deeply expressive profile that is rich in terroir, tradition, and complexity.

On the nose, San Luis Del Rio opens with warm, earthy aromas of roasted agave, wood smoke, and clay, followed by hints of tropical fruit and pepper. The palate is bold yet balanced, delivering rich flavors of grilled pineapple, burnt sugar, dried herbs, and sweet smoke. The texture is silky and mouth-coating, leading to a long, clean finish filled with minerality, spice, and lingering agave sweetness.

This mezcal is distilled twice in small copper stills after the agave piñas are roasted underground over river stones and fermented naturally in wooden vats with wild yeast. The unique elevation of San Luis del Río and its mineral-rich water source contribute to the mezcal’s distinctive character and layered complexity.

Del Maguey San Luis Del Rio is best savored neat to fully appreciate its artisanal depth, but it also elevates cocktails like the Mezcal Negroni or Oaxaca Old Fashioned. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, mole dishes, or charred vegetables, where its smoky-sweet profile complements bold, earthy flavors.
