Vida de Muertos is a special 45% alc./vol edition of Del Maguey Vida inspired by the batches of Mezcal that are distilled in autumn by the family of Paciano Cruz Nolasco and shared for the celebration of Dia de los Muertos.
Traditionally handcrafted from 100% mature agave EspadÃn, the limited production of this expression honours the occasion for which it's named. Each batch of Vida de Muertos is selected from a limited centre cut of the distillate that's selected by the palenquero, Paciano Cruz Nolasco.

Crystal clear.
Medicinal smoked wood with basil, Ancho peppers and char-grilled pineapple.
Herbal, salty and smoky with cracked black pepper, mild chili pepper spice, roasted pineapple and blood red orange.
Salty, smoky and delicately spicy with roasted pineapple and sage.
Not to be confused with the original Del Maguey Vida San Luis Del Rio, Vida de Muertos is far more voluptuous, with smoke, herbal notes, pepper spice, and added medicinal character.
