{"product_id":"del-maguey-minero-mezcal","title":"Del Maguey Minero Mezcal Tequila","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDel Maguey Minero is the clay still expression from Santa Catarina Minas — the only mezcal in the Del Maguey portfolio distilled in an ancient clay still with bamboo tubing rather than copper pot stills, producing the floral, fruity, and honey-forward character that the clay still specifically imparts and that copper distillation cannot replicate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanta Catarina Minas sits one hour beyond Chichicapa through a mountain pass in an arid semi-tropical microclimate. Florencio Carlos Sarmiento and his sons operate the most organized and methodical palenque Del Maguey works with — including a cistern system to cool and recycle distillation water. The clay still is the defining element: where copper conducts heat efficiently and strips certain compounds, clay conducts heat more gently, allowing different flavor compounds to carry through, producing the flower essence, vanilla, fig, and burnt honey character that defines Minero. Deep, warm, and sweet all the way to the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flower essence, vanilla, and figs with burnt honey and a hint of lemon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, warm, and sweet — the floral and fruit character from clay distillation carries throughout\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and sweet all the way to the close\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Espadin (Agave angustifolia)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ancient clay still with bamboo tubing — unique in the Del Maguey portfolio\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49.1% (98.2 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003emezcal at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why does the clay still produce different mezcal than copper?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Clay conducts heat more gently than copper and allows different flavor compounds to carry through.
