AGAVE SPIRITS

Mina Real is a step in a new direction for Oaxacan Mezcal. Made from agave that has been steam-roasted in low pressure brick kilns to highlight the plants bright highland flavor and floral bouquet instead of the layers of smoke traditionally found with wood roasted mezcal agave. This also allows them to be completely sustainable, without reliance on deforestation. Distilled in copper alembic stills. Mina Real, Mezcal Blanco - 92 Proof Agave is steamed in stone kilns to achieve more floral, aromatic characteristics. An exploration in the true flavor of Oaxacan Espadin with terroir as the defining character rather than over-bearing smoke. The truest expression of Espadin on the market. Mina Real, Mezcal Reposado - 84 Proof Reposado is barreled in used American white oak casks, presenting a touch of oak to add character and allow the agave characteristic to mingle with vanilla and subtle spice.
