Del Maguey Barril Mezcal
Del Maguey is the brainchild of Ron Cooper. With the help of indigenous Zapotec Mexican Indian producers from the remote villages of Oaxaca, Del Maguey uses ancient, original organic processes, and the varying micro-climates and terroir gives each expression a unique, rich, sweet and smoky character. Every product is made by individual family palenqueros (producers) in old-style villages.
