Del Maguey Chichicapa Single Village Mezcal: The Essence of Oaxaca
Discover the spirit that defined the artisanal mezcal category. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for world-class agave spirits, is proud to offer Del Maguey Chichicapa Single Village Mezcal. Produced in the remote village of San Baltazar Chichicapam by the legendary palenqueroFaustino Garcia Vasquez, this bottle is widely considered the benchmark for premium Espadín mezcal.
Separated from the Valley of Oaxaca by a rugged mountain range, Chichicapa enjoys a unique desert-tropical microclimate where agave thrives alongside guava, mango, and banana trees. The 100% Espadín agave used in this expression is roasted for days in an earthen pit, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona wheel, fermented with wild airborne yeasts, and twice-distilled in wood-fired copper pot stills.
Bottled at varying proofs (typically around 46-48% ABV depending on the lot), Chichicapa is celebrated for its perfect balance of smoke, sweetness, and complexity. It is deep, velvety, and undeniably authentic.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A relatively light but complex nose featuring sweet roasted agave, toasted corn, and dried fruit, with a subtle waft of wood smoke.
Palate: Deep, sweet, and coating on the tongue. Flavors of grilled pineapple and citrus zest (lime and mandarin) mingle with earthy mineral notes and a hint of almond.
Finish: Exceptionally long and smooth. The finish evolves from smoky chocolate and mocha to a refreshing, lingering note of fresh mint.
Whether you are a seasoned mezcal aficionado or beginning your journey into agave, Del Maguey Chichicapa is an essential addition to your collection.
