Real Minero De Carne 2022 Harvest Still Strength Mezcal
Real Minero De Carne was produced by mezcalero Edgar Angeles Carreño who grew up around the Real Minero palenque. His family has been making mezcal for generations and he has an intimate knowledge of the art. After the passing of his father Don Lorenzo in Dec 2016, Edgar decided to leave his position as an architect in Mexico City in order to return to the palenque. He’s been making mezcal ever since. The maguey De Carne gets it’s name from its “meaty” plant structure. This agave is extremely rare and not typically found in mezcal.
Outside of creating great spirits, Real Minero 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.
