Description

Maguey Cenizo, also called agave Durangensis, is the starting point for this Bozal mezcal. The agave cooks in earthen pit ovens before a horse draws a stone tahona to crush it. Fermentation takes place in open-air tanks with naturally occurring yeasts. Each stage belongs to a traditional approach, from cooking the agave to preparing it for fermentation.

Earthy undertones are the central tasting detail, connected to the earthen pit cooking. The mezcal has a bold character, with that earthiness running through the sip. It offers a chance to consider the relationship between the agave and the methods used to work it, with the cooking process providing a clear point of reference.

Begin with a neat pour. For a mixed drink, try a Mezcal Negroni or a Mezcal Mule.
