Divino Maguey Abocado con Tamarindo y Chiles Mezcal
Divino Maguey Abocado con Tamarindo y Chiles Mezcal is an 84-proof (42% ABV) flavored mezcal in a 750mL bottle: Espadín mezcal rested at least 12 months in small oak barrels, then infused with ripe tamarind (and chiles, per the name) in the abocado — sweetened — style. The earthy smoke of Oaxacan mezcal meets tangy-sweet tamarind for a profile that is complex, refreshing, and unmistakably unique. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Mezcal Reimagined with Tamarind
Abocado mezcals take the rustic soul of espadín and round it with something unexpected — here, the sweet-tart punch of ripe tamarind layered over a year of oak rest. The infusion softens the smoke without erasing it, landing in a space between sipping mezcal and craft liqueur: smooth enough for the curious, lively enough for the seasoned mezcal drinker. Shop the Divino Maguey collection or compare it with the unflavored mezcal lineup at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Hints of roasted agave, citrus, and sun-dried tamarind on the nose. The palate balances smoke with sweet-sour tamarind and subtle spice; the finish is lingering, warm, and slightly tart.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled or over ice with a Tajín rim — the sweet heat was made for it. It also shakes into a standout tamarind margarita or a smoky paloma variation.
