The Cruz Nolasco family's autumn batches — the inspiration for this expression — are produced with the same earth pit roasting, open-air fermentation, and copper pot still distillation of standard Vida but at the naturally higher proof of the autumn distillation season. The 45% ABV bottling delivers more of the San Luis Del Rio tropical fruit, smoke, and roasted agave character than the standard Vida, making it a more intense and occasion-appropriate expression for those who want the full celebration spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted agave, tropical fruit, and smoke — the San Luis Del Rio character at higher intensity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e More concentrated than standard Vida — fruit, smoke, and roasted agave with more grip from the 45% ABV\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warm with fruit and smoke persisting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e San Luis Del Rio, Sierra Sur, Oaxaca\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Espadin (Agave angustifolia)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45% (90 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seasonal — Dia de los Muertos autumn release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003emezcal at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does Vida de Muertos differ from standard Vida?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Same village (San Luis Del Rio), same family (Cruz Nolasco), same traditional production.
