De Ella Maya Well
A women-forward brand's entry – on-mission, middle of road
Score: 3.0/5 agaves
- Producer: De Ella Mezcal
- Region: Oaxaca
- Agave: Cirial
- ABV: 46%
- Price: $70 ($)
Verdict
De Ella centers women in a category that deserves it, and the mission is real, but transparency matters as much as representation. Without a named agave or maestro on this bottle the commitment can't fully land. Pass in favor of Berta Vasquez's work under Cuish if you want the same principle with fuller disclosure. Intention is necessary; information closes the deal.
Intentional brand, undeclared liquid
Tasting notes
Nose: A green top over cooked agave, apple, a soft mineral note
Palate: 46% ABV without a specified agave or maestro – De Ella's mission is clear but the bottle reads as a starter that won't declare its hand
Finish: Clean, faintly sweet
The bottom line
Mission-aligned; buy the Cuish Berta Vasquez bottles for the full story
