The family behind Real Minero has been making mezcal for several generations and they're known worldwide for their small batch bottlings. Now run by the sister/brother duo of Edgar Ángeles Carreño, their mezcal is produced in clay pot stills, then rested in glass for several months before bottling. This gives their products a signature mouthfeel that's soft and full bodied. Supported by the local community, Real Minero also operates an agave reforestation program that's saved several agave varietals from extinction.
