**Del Maguey San Luis del Rio Mezcal** is an artisanal mezcal from **Mexico** known for its quality and distinctive flavor. Its **production** begins with the selection of **Espadín agaves** cultivated in the mountains of San Luis del Río, Oaxaca. Once mature, the agaves are hand-harvested and cooked in a traditional wood-fired stone oven, imparting the mezcal its characteristic smoky flavor. After cooking, the agaves are crushed using a horse-drawn tahona. The resulting juice is fermented in open wooden vats with natural yeasts, a process that can take from seven to ten days depending on the climatic conditions. Subsequently, the fermented mash is distilled twice in small copper stills, resulting in a pure, high-quality mezcal. Regarding **pairing**, Del Maguey San Luis del Rio Mezcal is very versatile. Its smoky notes and complex flavors make it ideal to accompany a variety of dishes. It pairs perfectly with **grilled meats** and **barbecued dishes**, enhancing the flavors of the meats and adding an extra dimension to the palate. It is also excellent with **fatty fish** like salmon and tuna, as well as with **seafood**. For an authentic experience, it can be enjoyed alongside **tacos** with various fillings, including cochinita pibil and carnitas. **Strong and aged cheeses** are also an excellent complement, balancing the robust flavor of the mezcal.
