Tasting Notes

Del Maguey Mezcal Wild Fruit Iberico Santa Catarina Minas offers a sensory journey that begins with a spicy and floral nose, reminiscent of delicate carnations. As you explore further, you'll discover tropical aromatics of gardenia and jasmine, adding a fragrant allure to the experience. The palate unveils a symphony of flavors, with ripe pear and dark fig taking center stage, offering a harmonious blend of sweetness and depth.

The mezcal enters the mouth with a luscious, caramel-like texture that caresses the taste buds. Its round, soft, and gentle character makes it inviting and approachable.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is one of the more unusual bottles on our mezcal shelf: a collaboration between Del Maguey founder Ron Cooper and Chef José Andrés with his ThinkFoodGroup team, built around Ibérico de Bellota ham from free-range, acorn-fed, black-footed Iberian pigs in Spain. The idea is to marry mezcal's smoky complexity with the rich, savory character of that ham. On the nose you get spicy carnation, then gardenia and jasmine. The palate brings ripe pear and dark fig over wet green hay and forest floor. The texture is the real surprise: luscious and caramel-like, round and gentle, yet full-bodied and swelling into a big middle palate. Bottled at 49% ABV (98 proof), it rewards slow sipping. It suits the agave enthusiast or collector looking for a true conversation piece, and the food lover drawn by the José Andrés connection. We carry it because it shows how far mezcal can stretch beyond tradition while staying rooted in Oaxaca.
