Black Tie Mezcal

There’s a new girl in town, and she’s the mother of all mezcal. Produced in Mexico, Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal is an oganic spirit that has become the darling of connoisseurs. Bobby Flay created a tasting dinner with it at his Mesa Grill restaurant in New York City, because he loves Del Maguey’s “unique, smoky, earthy flavor.” To make it, hearts of maguey agave are roasted over hot rocks underground, and then the mash is fermented and distilled in limited quantities by Zapotec farmers in remote Mexican Villages in the state of Oaxaca. Its’s been made this way, in this place, for more than 400 years. You’d have to call it’s a winning formula. 505-758-1222 or visit mescal.com
