Clase Azul Mezcal Durango Joven

Clase Azul's Durango Joven is a Mexican mezcal identified as Cenizo in the producer's supplied notes. Its presentation reflects the work of makers who sculpt and individually paint each bottle. The liquid pours clear and bright, with silver highlights in the glass.

Citrus and herbs open the nose, joined by green olive, cooked agave and clove. Peanut, brown sugar and honey give the palate a sweet and savory balance. Wood, chocolate and ripe fruit add further layers. The texture is smooth and velvety. Those sweet and savory notes continue through a long finish, leaving several flavors to follow between sips.

Serve neat and take time between small sips to explore the changing flavors. For cocktails, use it in a Mezcal Margarita, an Oaxaca Old Fashioned or a Smoky Paloma.
