Founded in 2003, Del Amigo is the family-owned brand of maestro mezcalero Enrique Jiménez of Fidencio Mezcal. For this expression, Enrique uses a unique approach cooking half the estate grown agave using radiant heat for neutral flavor, while pit roasting the other half, offering extraordinary taste for an exceptional value.
