Oaxaca, MEXICO
$110. 00
Bottle
$1320.00 Dozen
ABV: 42%
An ecologically-sustainable mezcal made with agaves slowly cooked in a brick kiln without the use of firewood. The steaming method helps to highlight the bright floral bouquet without burning an industry average of 1.6 kg of wood per litre produced. Utilising a combination of both modern and historical techniques, the agave honeys for Mina Real are fermented intact with their crushed agave piña fibres, followed by a double distillation in copper alembic stills for pronounced earthiness and added character.

Tasting note: [LOT MROK1P] Pale gold. Varnishy notes blow off revealing moderate aromas of grass and light beeswax. Silky and quite sedate with light to medium bodied flavours suggesting wild honey, menthol tobacco, distant rubber... Fairly fleeting, with vanilla and beeswax leading the aftertaste. Elegant but toned down by Mezcal standards. 44.2% Alc./Vol.
