Tasting notes

Clase Azul Mezcal Durango is a distinctive spirit from wild Cenizo Agave in Durango, Northern Mexico. It's smoky character and complex flavors come from mineral-rich soil and natural spring water. Crafted using traditional artisanal methods, this mezcal honours ancient production practices. The colour is bright and crystalline with silver sparkles, featuring a medium body and aromas of citrus, herbal notes, green olive, cooked agave, and cloves. The flavours reveal peanut, brown sugar, honey, wood, chocolate, and hints of ripe fruit. The raw beauty of black clay inspires its dark and textured decanter. The design of this special piece is carved by hand by artisans from a small community of the Mazahua people. Artisans from the Wixárika culture are the creators of its unique and colourful cap.
