Del Maguey Minero Mezcal

Del Maguey Minero Mezcal is a cult favorite, produced in the traditional way in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca, using clay stills with bamboo tubing instead of the more common copper. This unique process imparts a fruity, mineral-driven character that sets Minero apart as one of the most distinctive mezcals. The agave Espadin is milled with wooden bats, fermented naturally, and distilled in small batches to preserve its authentic heritage.

Bottled at 50% alcohol by volume (ABV), 100 proof, like all Del Maguey Single Village Mezcals, this spirit is crafted to be savored slowly rather than taken as a shot, allowing its whole character to unfold. On the nose, it delivers floral essences layered with vanilla and figs, leading into flavors of burnt honey, a touch of lemon, and a deep warmth that lingers sweetly to the finish.

Del Maguey Minero Mezcal has earned widespread recognition, including Gold at the 2022 Beverage Testing Institute, Platinum in 2023, Double Gold at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Gold at the 2023 TAG Global Spirits Competition, and multiple 94-point ratings at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge. This artisanal mezcal embodies the authenticity, complexity, and craftsmanship of Santa Catarina Minas, offering a one-of-a-kind tasting experience.
