Lagrimas de Dolores Mezcal Joven Maguey Castilla

Product description

This maguey has been cultivated in the Southern parts of Mezquital municipio, a mainly indigenous community of Tepehuanes and Huicholes in Huazamota. It takes around 6 years to reach maturity at sizes of up to 2.5 metres and can be found in lower elevation areas in Durango. Although it comes from the same family as Oaxaca's "Espadín" this agave differs greatly in appearance and taste. The distillation methods are similar to those used in the fascinating description of Cenizo Colonial Temoaya.

This particular batch was personally chosen for export to Canada at a small distillery in southern Mezquital by our founder Eric Lorenz. His notes: "Delightfully herbaceous and earthy with a candy-like sweetness. Lightly grassy with a pronounced 'zing' at the end that lingers nicely, and finally light smoke that elegantly emerges only after swallowing the last drop."
