About this MezcalSiete Misterios Barril is made with 100% agave Barril, which is a member of the Karwinskii family. The agave Barril is named for its resemblance to a barrel once the leaves are cut from it and it is ready to be cooked. Typically, Barril offers more earthy and herbal tones.
This mezcal is distilled in clay pots and all of the milling is done by hand. Siete Misterios MezcalSiete Misterios was founded in 2010 with the intent of keeping traditional mezcal production at the forefront of the mezcal industry. They produce a wide range of mezcals that all highlight a single agave varietal.
They are backed by those who are deeply saddened by the industrialization seen in most tequila and some low-grade mezcal, and they're doing everything in their power to keep the art of the mezcalero alive.
The mezcaleros making their bottles change batch to batch, so one batch's bottles may taste entirely different from the next batch's bottles. This gives Siete Misterios a lot of variety in it's bottling as each batch is made by a different person, with agave grown in a slightly different micro-climate, and the mezcal may hold a slightly different ABV. Make sure to check your bottle for these details.
