Aguerrido Mezcal
Real Minero De Carne
Real Minero De Carne is a joven agave spirit produced by Edgar Angeles in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca. This 53.2 percent ABV distillate uses Sp agave aged for fifteen years and milled with a shredder. It ferments in clay pots to create subtle floral notes of marigolds and rose water with hints of serrano peppers. The palate delivers a thick, sweet profile marked by rich nuttiness and oily textures reminiscent of peanut butter. A long finish reveals sesame seeds, burnt peaches, and dark grape skins while maintaining a sweet earthiness.

About the Brand
Real Minero (previously Mezcal Real Minero) is considered by many to be one of the world’s finest mezcal producers. The Angeles family has been making mezcal for several generations in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca. 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. In 2020, the brand began dropping the word “mezcal” from their labels. The term “traditional” replaces the CRM “ancestral” designation. Shortly thereafter, the brand officially parted ways with the certification process; all future releases will be labeled as “agave spirits” or something similar. Despite the label changes, nothing significant about their production process has changed over years.
