The steaming method highlights the plants’ bright floral bouquet without burning an industry average of 3.5 lbs of firewood per liter produced. Utilizing a combination of both modern and historical technique, the agave honeys for Mina Real are fermented intact with their crushed agave piña fibers, followed by a double distillation in copper alembic stills for pronounced earthiness and character. Mina Real Reposado Mezcal is additionally barreled in American white oak.

Mezcal is traditionally unaged. But this one takes a cue from reposado or “rested” tequilas to mellow the smoky layers and impart barrel notes similar to whiskey or bourbon.

Made from agave that’s steam-roasted in low-pressure brick ovens and co-fermented with both the agave sugars and crushed piña fibers to showcase Highland Oaxacan terroir, it’s then double-distilled in ceramic pots and aged in American white oak.

This 100% agave mezcal’s a real sipper for those who want the usual bouquet of floral, citrus, and herbal notes with the added flavors of vanilla, caramel and baking spice from the barrel.
