Del Maguey Wild Jabalí Santa Maria Albarradas Mezcal
A rare, untamable spirit from the "Wild Boar" agave.
Del Maguey Wild Jabalí is a standout expression in the Vino de Mezcal series, crafted from one of the most challenging agaves in existence: Agave convallis. Known as "Jabalí" (wild boar) due to the serrated, tooth-like spikes on its leaves, this wild maguey is notoriously difficult to process. During fermentation and distillation, the agave naturally produces a high amount of saponins, causing the liquid to foam excessively and testing the mastery of even the most seasoned producers.
This mezcal is born in the high-altitude village of Santa Maria Albarradas (approx. 5,577 feet), where the agaves take 18 to 20 years to reach maturity on craggy, rocky cliffs. Produced by the legendary family of Rogelio Martínez Cruz and Leopoldino Miranda, the process involves roasting the hearts for a full 30 days in earthen pits, horse-milling, and double-distillation in copper pot stills.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: A complex and pungent bouquet that blends savory and sweet. Expect prominent notes of fresh figs, baked apple pie, and star anise, uniquely accented by a distinct hint of parmesan rind and earthy tarragon.
- Palate: The entry is marked by a bright, beautiful acidity. It unfolds with high floral notes of sweet violets and crème de violette, balanced by herbal layers of tarragon and a savory, "spritzy" quality. You may find hints of spice like clove, allspice, and a touch of roasted meat.
- Finish: Long, clean, and evolving. It leaves a pleasing trail of sandalwood, faint star anise, and a delicate, lingering smoke.
Del Maguey Wild Jabalí is a testament to the determination of the Albarradas artisans. It is a multi-award-winning spirit that rewards the adventurous palate with an unconventional and profoundly layered flavor profile.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
