help Del Maguey Wild Papalome FAQ
What type of agave is used in Del Maguey Wild Papalome?
Del Maguey Wild Papalome is crafted from the rare and wild-growing A. cupreata agave species. Unlike the more common Espadin, cupreata takes much longer to mature on the steep, remote hillsides of Oaxaca before it can be harvested.
How is Del Maguey Wild Papalome distilled?
This single-village mezcal is traditionally double-distilled in small, wood-fired clay pots. This ancient, artisanal method of distillation is what gives the spirit its signature, highly sought-after earthy depth and smoky flavor profile.
Where is Del Maguey Wild Papalome produced?
This specific mezcal is produced in the remote Zapotec village of San Baltazar Chichicápam, located deep in the rugged terrain of Oaxaca, Mexico. Del Maguey specifically works with local family producers in single villages to preserve ancestral methods.
How does Wild Papalome compare to Del Maguey Vida?
While Del Maguey Vida is a highly approachable, unaged Espadin agave mezcal designed for easy mixing in cocktails, Wild Papalome is a high-proof, wild agave expression meant for slow sipping. The cupreata agave imparts intense floral, green pepper, and earthy notes that are absent in the Vida.
