Del Maguey Ibérico Mezcal
Mezcal Joven
Oaxaca, Mexico
This is what you get when one of the greatest minds in modern gastronomy, Chef José Andrés, and his team, ThinkFoodGroup, meets Ron Cooper, Del Maguey’s founder and his mezcalero at Santa Catarina Minas.
Replacing the classic chicken breast typically used in the harvest celebration producing Pechuga mezcals, this bottling uses the highly-sought-after ham from the black-footed Ibérico pigs.

Tasting Notes
"This mezcal is stark and abrupt, spicy and savory. The nose is an array of fruit ranging from fresh peaches to grilled pineapples. It tastes of savory smoke, ash, baking spices, butterscotch and a bit of that grilled fruit that seduced us on the nose. This mezcal drinks like a meal in of itself, but why don’t you go ahead and pair this with some Ibérico ham for the ultimate pairing."
