Leyenda Durango is made by mezcalero Ventura Gallegos, whose family has been producing mezcal for many generations. This mezcal is part of a co-op of mezcal producers, in a town called Nombre de Dios. This mezcal has floral aromas that mix with leather and wet clay. The flavor is buttery with notes of coriander and fruit. This is a display of the agave’s terroir, which includes almost desert like conditions where the agave grows among lava rocks.
This outstanding mezcal is made from wild agave cenizo from the state of Durango, and it has an unusually rich mouth feel with notes of stone fruits and a good undertone of mesquite.
