Cenizo Colonial Hacienda Dolores

Durango

Cenizo Colonial Hacienda Dolores Joven is a mezcal from Durango. Fabiola Ávila produces this Durangensis spirit under NOM-D175G. The shredder-milled agave undergoes copper distillation for a savory profile. Pepperoni, smoked ham, and pine needles define the nose. Blue cheese and rosemary add aromatic depth to the spirit. A thick start reveals sugar cubes, white pepper, and grapefruit. Bacon fat and soft herbs linger on the palate. This expression offers more smoke than other lines yet remains balanced. The forty-one percent alcohol by volume supports a straightforward agave character.

Cenizo Colonial Mezcal

About the Brand

Cenizo Colonial Mezcal is a single village concept from Germán Gutierrez and his family, starting with one from their own historic Hacienda Dolores in Durango City, dating back to the 17th Century, and another from producer Enrique de la Cruz in San Miguel Temoaya. Further products will be added from different villages and towns throughout Durango with a focus on showcasing terroir differences on Agave duranguensis. These producers have been planting about 50,000 new agave Cenizos every year since 2012. Starting around 2021, expect Cenizo Colonial to be sourced from 100% semi-wild agaves.
