Description
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.
