Part of Del Maguey’s Vino De Mezcal series, this mezcal is produced only using wild Papalometl, a variety of maguey named in Nahuatl for the butterfly (papalotl). Its scientific name is agave Cupreata and it resembles a giant Tobala maguey.
Del Maguey Wild Papalome is made by Fernando Caballero Cruz at San Pedro Teozacoalco Village in the Mixteca Alta region using a stainless pot still with a clay condenser and Carrizo (Mexican bamboo) tube.
