Legendario Domingo Durango Cenizo Mezcal (700ml)

Talked about as one of the brand's best values and most characterful expressions, Domingo's Durango Joven Mezcal is made from 100% Cenizo (Durangensis) magueys, harvested at 10-12 years old from Nombre de Dios in the picturesque Durango region. Piñas are cooked for 4-5 days in underground conical ovens ignited with mesquite, oak and huisache woods. They're then crushed by a traditional mechanical wheel. Fermentation takes place in open underground wooden vats with fresh spring water for 6-8 days. No yeast is added, rather, indigenous yeast from the air ferments the juice. The Colon Family are responsible for the double-distillation that takes place in a 300 litre Arabic Alembic pot still made of copper and stainless steel. The mezcal is then rested 30-45 days before being bottled at a robust 47% Alc./Vol. The resulting spirit is textural, wild and full-flavoured, combining savoury, earthy notes and sweet fruits with balancing acidity.

Other reviews... Loving this one. The aromas out of the bottle are licorice and plums, sweet and spicy. No smoke no alcohol aromas. Flavors are like a spicy chicken taco with some brown fruit. Some dirt oil and minerals in this one.If you like wild game like venison, or elk, this one’s for you very meaty. This is an extremely different mezcal and the profile is quite a bit different than most others that i’ve tried for this region. Having a pour of this one tonight and d***, I swear I just ate an elk hamburger with onions and pickles with this one. I’ve never had a mezcal so meaty. - mezcalreviews.com
