An elegant, special occasion Mezcal by Arturo Lomeli, the founder of Clase Azul Distillery in Durango, Mexico made with 100% Maguey / Cenizo Agave. Cenizo Agaves take 12 to 15 years to reach maturity. Once harvested, the agave hearts are slow roasted for 3 days in volcanic stone before natural fermentation under red oak. This is a Joven Mezcal, double-distilled in alembic copper stills, brought to proof with natural spring mineral-water. It has an aromatic birth with notes of herbs & hay; while an elegant life adds notes of raw peanuts, smoke, ripe apples, red oak, vanilla, caramel & agave; that led to a long & delicate death with notes of toasted oak & grass.
