Part of Del Maguey’s esteemed \"Vino de Mezcal\" series, this spirit is crafted from the semi-wild Arroqueño agave (*Agave americana*), a massive plant that can take up to 20 years to reach maturity. Produced in the legendary village of Santa Catarina Minas by palenquero Florencio Carlos Sarmiento and his sons, this mezcal follows the \"Ancestral\" tradition. Unlike most modern spirits, it is distilled in small clay pots (ollas de barro) rather than copper stills, with bamboo tubing used to channel the vapor. This ancient, labor-intensive method imparts a distinctively earthy, mineral, and viscous character that is entirely unique to the Minas region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are seeking a premier gift for a serious spirits collector or a high-scoring masterpiece (96 Points, Wine Enthusiast) to enjoy neat from a traditional copita, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 49% ABV icon brought directly to your door. In the glass, it reveals a crystal-clear, brilliant transparency. The bouquet is highly sophisticated and vegetal, offering aromas of dark chocolate, roasted fig, and wet clay, layered with notes of melon, sweet cream, and a hint of savory smoke. On the palate, it is remarkably full-bodied and complex, delivering a concentrated core of spicy cinnamon and cooked agave framed by a deep earthy minerality and a long, cooling finish that echoes with tropical fruit and umami.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy Del Maguey Arroqueño Santa Catarina Minas Now!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Del Maguey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48168300839162,"sku":null,"price":132.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/9632\/1098\/files\/DelMagueyArroquenoSantaCatarinaMinasMezcal750ml.png?v=1766989452","url":"https:\/\/vsliquor.com\/products\/del-maguey-arroqueno-santa-catarina-minas-mezcal-750ml","provider":"VS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
