• 100% Agave Durangensis (Cenizo): a regional variety native to Durango, rarely seen in commercial mezcal outside of it
• Durango state production: a certified mezcal region outside the Oaxacan mainstream, with its own long tradition
• High-altitude mountain agave growing slowly in dry, rocky terrain - the terroir shows directly in the glass
• Full traditional process: pit roasting, natural fermentation in wooden vessels, copper pot distillation, no additives
• Hand-crafted Clase Azul ceramic decanter, a collectible piece in its own right

Produced in Durango, Mexico, one of the certified mezcal regions outside the more commonly known Oaxacan territory. Durango has its own long mezcal tradition, built around Agave Durangensis, a variety native to the region that's rarely seen in commercial mezcal outside of it.

Clase Azul has applied the same commitment to craft and presentation to this mezcal that defines their tequila range. The agave is cooked in traditional earthen pit ovens, fermented naturally, and distilled in copper pot stills. The full traditional process, no shortcuts taken.

• Serious mezcal drinkers who want to explore beyond Espadin and Oaxaca
• Agave enthusiasts after a variety native to Durango that is genuinely rare outside the region
• Collectors who want a Clase Azul ceramic decanter from a limited non-tequila expression
• Gift buyers looking for something exceptional for someone who already knows their agave spirits

• Neat, always: the mineral depth and earthy complexity deserve full attention
• A single large ice cube in a wide glass if you want to open it up slightly
• Let it breathe a few minutes before the first sip - the Cenizo agave character develops with air
• Keep the decanter once it is empty - hand-crafted ceramic worth displaying on its own

Agave Durangensis from Durango is genuinely rare - a regional variety native to the high-altitude mountains, made the full traditional way, and presented in a Clase Azul ceramic decanter. This is not a casual pour. It is for drinkers who want to understand what mezcal can be outside the Oaxacan Espadin standard, and it makes the point from the first sip. One of the most interesting expressions in the Clase Azul mezcal series.
