Distiller Notes
Mezcal Clase Azul is created using 100% Cenzino Agave, which grows wild in the state of Durango. The region, known for extreme climate, mineral-rich soil and local natural springs, contributes to the powerful and complex profile that differentiates our mezcal from those produced in the rest of Mexico.
The underground baking process produces sweet notes of peanut, brown sugar, honey, ash, wood and chocolate. The fermentation process using stone piles and red oak, contribute to notes of ripened fruit.
Mezcal Joven or “young” is bottled within two months of distillation without barrel aging and will appear clear, like a Vodka or Gin. Longer barrel aging, with the principal aim to soften and round a spirit’s flavor profile, is often most prized by connoisseurs. However, many die-hard Mezcal enthusiasts insist that oak takes away from the purity of the agave flavors—ranging from earthy and smoky to sweet and floral, often in the same Mezcal—and that Mezcal Joven is the best expression.
