Savoring Summer: A Mezcal Twist on Three Classic Recipes with Del Maguey VIDA Puebla

Del Maguey was founded by Ron Cooper, a visual artist who fell in love with Mezcal in Oaxaca more than 25 years ago. He felt compelled to introduce it to his friends, family, and the world, highlighting the unique artisanship of each individual producer. This passion led him to launch Del Maguey and introduce the category of traditional Mezcal in the US. 

Nuanced and artisanal, DEL MAGUEY VIDA® Puebla offers a great introduction to the Mezcal journey. It’s savory and bright on the nose with notes of roasted agave softened by hints of citrus, white peach, and candied pine. As the palenque is located in Axocopan, Del Maguey VIDA® Puebla is a taste of place, boasting a distinct minerality from the volcanic rock in the Puebla soil.
