Celebrating Oaxaca’s Agave Heritage
Launched in October 2025, Del Suelo Mezcal was created to celebrate the individuality of Oaxaca’s agave varieties, bringing together authentic mezcal craftsmanship, terroir and distinctive presentation.
At the heart of the range is a commitment to showcasing the natural character of each agave. From the complex vegetal and tropical notes of Madrecuishe to the smoky depth of Tobalá and the distinctive herbal and mineral character of Espadín, each expression offers a different perspective on the terroir of Oaxaca.
The latest awards provide further recognition of the strength of the Del Suelo proposition, particularly for a mezcal range that has only recently entered the global spirits market.
A Legacy of Mezcal Craftsmanship
The awards are also a fitting tribute to maestro mezcalero Don Baltazar Cruz Gómez, whose knowledge, craftsmanship and deep connection to the land continue to shape every bottle of Del Suelo Mezcal.
His expertise is central to the production of the range, helping preserve the character and traditions of Oaxacan mezcal while allowing each agave variety to express its own distinctive personality.
With every expression in the portfolio recognised at the London Spirits Competition, Del Suelo Mezcal continues to build momentum internationally and establish itself as an award-winning mezcal range for consumers, bartenders and drinks professionals looking to explore authentic Oaxaca mezcal.
