Origen Raiz Mezcal Cenizo (750 ml)

Description

Since the origin of the Universe in the fields of Durango, roots have emerged that gave life to the characteristic Maguey of our Volcanic Zone, because of its size, its imposing presence in the mountains and great resistance to climatic changes, Magueyes that like its people are hard and persistent. But with a big heart, heart that in each drop transmits us the noble spirit of this land, THE MEZCAL DE DURANGO. This wild agave, known as ‘cenizo’, grows in the high elevation desert plateaus of Durango and Zacatecas. Its pencas appear greenishgrey and leather-like. A hardy species, it can withstand frosts, allowing it to grow at higher elevations. The agave takes between 10-14 years to reach maturity and 15-18kg of piña is needed to produce 1L of mezcal.
