Del Maguey Chichicapa Single Village Mezcal
This is a single village Mezcal made in the remote mountains, plains and valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico. Each mezcal in this range is named for the village where it is made. Chichicapa has a medium nose and a complex taste with lots of citrus and a long, smooth finish with overtones of mint. Del Maguey mezcals are twice distilled and unblended from 100% mature agave Espadin and are produced the original way that has been used for over 400 years. Production is limited to exclusive quantities per year to preserve quality. There are no chemicals, colourings or additives ever used in any Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal.
La Venenosa Raicilla Costa
This Raicilla Costa has aromas of gravel, rubber inner tubes and old wood smoke, unusual and very like a Mezcal. The palate is sweeter than the aroma and has notes of pepper spice with orchard fruit. The finish is rather herbal with a hint of menthol. This Raicilla is produced by Maestro Tabernero Don Alberto Hernández in the village of Llano Grande of the coastal region Cabo Corrientes, 700 metres above sea level. Don Alberto cultivates a mix of agaves: Rhodecantha and Angustifolia. Rhodecantha matures after 12 years and Angustifolia after eight. The agave is roasted in a wood fired adobe oven. It is distilled two times in a Philippino still made out of copper and a hollowed out tree trunk.
