Producer Notes: Del Maguey
Del Maguey is a drinks producer that specializes in artisanal mezcal, a traditional Mexican spirit made from the agave plant. The company was founded in 1995 by Ron Cooper, who was inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Oaxaca, Mexico, where mezcal has been produced for centuries.
Del Maguey sources its agave from small, family-owned farms in the rugged mountains of Oaxaca, where the plants are grown and harvested by hand. The agave is then roasted in underground pits, giving the mezcal its distinctive smoky flavor. The company produces a range of mezcal varieties, each with its own unique flavor profile and character.
One of Del Maguey’s most famous mezcal varieties is the Single Village Mezcal, which is made from agave grown in a specific village and reflects the unique terroir and traditions of that region. The company also produces a range of flavored mezcals, including pineapple, papaya, and wild apple.
In addition to mezcal, Del Maguey also produces a range of other traditional Mexican spirits, including sotol, a spirit made from the desert spoon plant, and raicilla, a spirit made from the agave lechuguilla plant.
Overall, Del Maguey is known for its commitment to traditional production methods and its focus on sustainability and social responsibility. The company works closely with local farmers and artisans to ensure that its products are of the highest quality and that the communities where they are produced are supported and empowered.

Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit made primarily from the agave plant, with EspadĂn being the most common variety used. This unique spirit is characterized by its distinct smoky flavor, which results from roasting agave hearts in earthen pits before distillation. Mezcal can be enjoyed in various forms: unaged (Joven), aged for at least two months (Reposado), or aged for a minimum of one year (Añejo), each offering different complexities and flavor profiles.
The aroma of mezcal often features earthy notes complemented by citrus, herbs, and sometimes floral or fruity undertones, creating a rich sensory experience. Its texture ranges from smooth to full-bodied depending on the aging process. Mezcal is versatile in cocktails, commonly used in drinks like the Mezcal Margarita and Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, but it is also appreciated neat or on the rocks to fully savor its intricate flavors.
