From from 100% indigenous wild Cenizo agave, this is one of the better entry level mezcals that delivers, quality, tradition, versatility and value all in one offering.
This mezcal is so easy to love. Conceived by mezcalera Fabiola Ávila Valenzuela as a pouring mezcal, its also complex and smooth enough to be sipped neat with ease. Native to the vast Northwest Mexican state of Durango, the cenizo agave lends relaxed notes of tropical fruit, pine, petrol, and charred peppers to the palate. Known for the superb Lágrimas de Dolores, Hacienda Dolores bottled this at a lower proof to make it perfect for cocktail mixing, and your next mezcal margarita should absolutely get a healthy dose of this. Its a milder yet compelling potion that serves as a nice alternative to more assertive Oaxacan options, and will please tastebuds of newcomers and aficonados alike. If you're looking for a unique mezcal that won't break the bank, is highly enjoyable on its own, and will mix into cocktails guilt-free, this is the one.
