Clase Azul Mezcal Durango

A magnificent mezcal from Clase Azul, made with wild Cenizo agave which is native to the Mexican state of Durango. The agave itself takes between 12 to 15 years to grow before it can be harvested (most regular farmed varieties take around three), but it's well worth the wait! It's presented in this dramatic decanter, inspired by Mexican black clay pottery, and the colorful top is made using beeswax, resin, a needle, and individually placed beads. Truly a thing to behold!

Nose: Citrus and herbal, green olive, cooked agave, and cloves.

Palate: Peanut, brown sugar, honey, wood, chocolate, and notes of ripe fruit.

Finish: Smooth and long.
