Siete Misterios Barril
A barril that earns its place in the Siete Misterios range
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Siete Misterios Mezcal
- Maestro: Antonio Amador, Eleuterío Ogarrio
- Region: Sola de Vega, Oaxaca
- Agave: Barril
- ABV: 48%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
Barril is the quiet star of the Siete Misterios lineup – the Sola de Vega production has enough weight to serve the agave, and barril at 48% reads with the mineral-earth register the karwinskii family delivers when the proof lands. Not at the Real Minero Barril or Cuish Ramírez tier, but a legitimate mid-tier barril from a widely-distributed brand. 3.8 consensus reads fair.
Siete Misterios' wild agaves are the argument for the brand
Tasting notes
Nose: Warm earth. Then dried herb, faint smoke, cooked apple
Palate: Dense and slightly bitter – the barril signature present, proof (48%) appropriate
Finish: Drying, warm. Stays long
The bottom line
The barril to buy if the Real Minero or Jolgorio are out
