Real Minero Espadin, Largo, Tripon, Barril is made by Edgar Angeles in Santa Catarina Minas. The very first batch bottled under Mezcal Real Minero was produced in 2004 by Don Lorenzo Angeles (Edgar’s father) and was made with agaves Espadín, Largo, Tripón and Barril. The portions of different agaves all play a part in defining this mezcals unique flavor profile. This is a rich expression that is packed with herbal notes, smoke, and hints of fruit. Certain batches are rested in glass for 10 years before bottling.
Real Minero is considered by many to be one of the world's finest Mezcal producers. The family has been making mezcal for several generations in Santa Catarina Minas, and they're known both in Mexico and abroad for creating some of the best bottles available. All of their mezcal is made in small clay pot stills, and almost all of it is rested in glass for several months before bottling, giving the mezcal a much softer character. Outside of creating great spirits, they also have one of the largest and most diverse sustainable agave reforestation programs. With the help of the community, they've been able to rescue several agave varieties that were previously thought to be extinct. The ABV of each batch may vary slightly, so check your bottle for details.…
