TASTING NOTE: By any account, and as confirmed in our blind tasting, the mezcals of Del Maguey offer an opportunity to taste some of the best in the world. Ron Cooper, an artist, founded Del Maguey 20 years ago in an effort to introduce to everybody the mezcals he had discovered on his forays into the backwoods of Oaxaca. He now imports a number of single-village mezcals ... Our No. 1 mezcal in the tasting was Del Maguey's Chichicapa, which was smooth, pure and astonishingly complex.
