This clear and light-bodied mezcal has a faintly smoky aroma and a mildly peppery flavor. A potent, alcoholic finish fades into black pepper. (KN) (12/2010)
K&L Notes
This entry level bottling called “Vida” allows for all of the purity and beauty that one extracts from Del Maguey’s hand-crafted distillations at a more affordable price. The “Vida” is still produced 100% according to the 400-year-old local tradition of small-batch distillation and using nothing but the agave heart and water in the mezcal. Del Maguey was named “Distiller of the Year” at the 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
