Product details
Real Minero Seemanniana Tobalá Capón Wild Agave is a rare and deeply artisanal expression crafted in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca, by renowned maestro Edgar Angeles Carreño. Produced entirely from mature Agave seemanniana, this limited release highlights the traditional capón method, where the flowering stalk is removed months before harvest to concentrate the plant’s natural richness and complexity. Every stage of production reflects generations of heritage craftsmanship, from cooking the agave in earthen pit ovens to hand-assisted milling, fermentation in pine vats with well water, and double distillation in traditional Filipino-style clay stills. The result is a remarkably nuanced and terroir-driven creation that captures the soul of Oaxaca through time-honored methods and exceptional raw material selection.
On the palate, this release reveals extraordinary depth and layered complexity. Creamy notes reminiscent of crème fraîche and white chocolate intertwine with vibrant accents of grilled pineapple, underripe mango, and black currant. Hints of cacao, cinnamon, and guajillo chile add warmth and intrigue, while subtle floral tones of jasmine lift the aromatic profile with elegance. A touch of Sichuan peppercorn introduces gentle spice and energy, balanced by earthy undertones and a long, textured finish. Rich yet remarkably composed, this expression unfolds gradually with evolving layers that reward slow appreciation and highlight its rare handcrafted character.
