Discover the exceptional complexity of Real Minero Arrozueno Sierrudo Still Strength, a masterclass in traditional Oaxacan distillation. Crafted in the renowned palenque of Santa Catarina Minas, this rare mezcal is an extraordinary blend of two massive, slow-growing agave varietals: the floral Arroqueño (Arrozueno) and the deeply complex Sierrudo.
Bottled at “still strength”—meaning no water is added after distillation to lower the proof—this expression delivers an unadulterated, bold, and pure tasting experience. The signature Real Minero ancestral clay pot distillation method imparts a velvety texture and an unmistakably earthy resonance that true agave aficionados will deeply appreciate.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: A captivating bouquet of roasted tropical fruits, damp earth, wet clay, and delicate floral undertones.
- Palate: Rich and viscous. A powerful wave of sweet roasted agave, dark chocolate, ripe banana, and herbal spice. The high proof elevates the flavors without burning.
- Finish: Endlessly long and warming, leaving lingering notes of minerality, sweet smoke, and toasted almonds.
How to Enjoy
To fully appreciate the robust profile of this still-strength mezcal, we recommend sipping it neat from a traditional copita or veladora glass. Allow it to breathe for a few minutes before tasting to let the complex aromas open up.
