Pierde Almas Mezcal
Cenizo Colonial Temoaya
Cenizo Colonial Temoaya is a Joven mezcal from Durango, bottled at 43% ABV. The aroma presents candied fruit, mint, and barn-like funk alongside baking spice and light smoke. Palate notes include leather, dark chocolate without bitterness, malt, and sour egg cream nuances. The finish is dry with mild heat and clean cooked agave characteristics. This expression balances sweet New York cheesecake vibes with herbal and minty undertones, offering a unique profile that evolves in the glass while maintaining structural integrity despite its accessible alcohol content.

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.
