First and foremost, Real Minero is a family business - a family that have been making mezcal for generations. The Ángeles family is respected and beloved in the mezcal making community of Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca; one of the most known villages for traditional mezcal in all of Mexico. Facing the public and leading the team is Graciela Ángeles Carreño. She is a pioneer in the mezcal industry, forging the path for agave conservation, preserving cultural heritage, and female leadership. It is impossible to overstate her contributions to the industry. The brand, Real Minero, is one of the most recognised brands of authentic mezcal from Santa Catarina Minas, known for their ancestral production using clay pot stills. Nearly all of their mezcales are rested in glass before being bottled and released, resulting in a smooth and unique flavor. Real Minero is considered by many to be one of the world’s finest mezcal producers. In addition to their dedication to producing high-quality spirits, they also have a successful agave reforestation program to help save nearly extinct varieties. By choosing a bottle of Real Minero you get an experience at the highest level. This is agave spirits at another level.
