Siete Misterios Mezcal Joven Arroqueno

As we increased our Agave range, we knew we wanted to create Mezcal from the Americana var, one of the oldest and largest Agaves. Agave Americana var. Oaxacensis, an Agave of large wingspan, can take between 12 to 25 years to grow depending on the region. This Mezcal is an icon of Los Siete Misterios and championed by many as their favorite. Soft and aromatic, our Arroqueño Mezcal beautifully expresses notes of citrus and walnut with an earthy minerality.

Siete Misterios Arroqueno is made with 100% maguey Arroqueno (agave Americana), which is one of the oldest and largest agave that can be used for mezcal production in Oaxaca. These massive agave take up to 20 years to mature, and the mezcal that is made from it has become one of Siete Misterios’ most popular. This mezcal is produced using clay pot distillation and all of the milling is done by hand.

About Siete Misterios

Siete Misterios was founded in 2010 by brothers Julio and Eduardo Mestre with the intent of keeping traditional mezcal production at the forefront of the mezcal industry. The company sources 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.
