There is a nose of white pepper, wet stones, orchard scents, faded campfire and wet stones. A lot going on. On the palate, quite clean with minerals, tip of the tongue spiciness, pear, white fruits and light menthol and smoke. Easy to drink! Perhaps a little too easy.
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.
