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 Sur
This Raicilla Sur has sharp raw and smoky aromas from the cooked agave with a touch of pepper. The palate is soft and sweet with a baseline of earthy tones that give way to candied fruit and sugar syrup. To finish this is sweet, creamy and slowly comes to a dry end. This Raicilla is produced by Maestro Tabernero Don Arturo Campos in the village of San Juan Espanatica, Tuxpan (Jalisco) at approximately 1,400 metres above sea level. The agave used is both Cenizo and a type of Angustifolia known locally as Lineño, which is harvested after seven years. The agave is roasted in an earthen oven and it is then distilled twice in a philippino style still made from clay pots.
