Real de Oaxaca Blanco Mezcal
Real de Oaxaca Blanco Mezcal is the purest expression of espadín agave — 40% ABV, 750mL, unaged and bottled straight from the still. The sales sheet calls this "the initial fresh distillate," and it shows: subtle floral aromatics, light smoke, earth-balanced nose, and a peachy sweetness that carries the minerality right through the finish. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Fresh Distillate, Bottled Unchanged
Unaged mezcal is where the agave does all the talking, and Real de Oaxaca's blanco talks plenty. Roasted agave character meets floral lift and a whisper of smoke, then orange-oil hints and a distinct salinity carry into a long butter-créme finish — minerality all the way through. Compare it with its rested sibling in our mezcal collection, or see the full Real de Oaxaca lineup.
