Del Maguey Tobalá: Mezcal of the Year at the 2024 International Spirits Challenge

Del Maguey spirits competition

On September 26th, 2024, London hosted the International Spirits Challenge Ceremony  (ISC), one of the most important events in the world of spirits. This year, the award for Mezcal of the Year was given to Del Maguey Tobalá, a mezcal that represents the best of tradition, quality, and the essence of House of Tequila, crafted in Santa María Albarradas, Oaxaca.

Del Maguey Tobalá: Craftsmanship in Every Drop

The heart of this mezcal lies in its artisanal production, led by master palenquero Rogelio Martínez Cruz. Del Maguey Tobalá captures the true heritage of Oaxacan mezcal.

The agave cooking process takes 30 days, allowing its flavors to fully develop. The result is a mezcal with fruity and sweet aromas, enriched with earthy notes of moss, cinnamon, and delicate flowers. It finishes with a creamy, mineral aftertaste, delivering a unique sensory experience that reflects the character of the land where it originates.

An Award of Local Pride and International Recognition

This award not only recognizes the quality of Del Maguey Tobalá but also highlights House of Tequila’s commitment to both tradition and innovation. Each bottle is the result of a collective effort between local producers and experts, creating an extraordinary expression of Oaxacan mezcal.

This recognition goes beyond the trophy; it underscores the importance of preserving ancestral methods while promoting mezcal on the global stage.

Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal: Supporting the Spirits Community

This achievement also reflects Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal dedication to the spirits and Mexican community. The award aligns with the brand’s core values: authenticity, quality, and passion in every detail. Del Maguey continues to support and promote traditional Mexican spirits, helping them thrive in international markets and pushing the boundaries of innovation.
