Aguerrido Mezcal
Lamata De Castilla Durango
Lamata De Castilla Durango is a joven destilado de agave from the El Mezquital valley. This spirit presents distinct savory and smoky characteristics reminiscent of barbecue spices, ginger, and soy sauce. Aromas include dark plums, tobacco, root beer, and warm spices alongside a unique earthy funk. The palate offers notes of mustard seeds, oak, smoked peat, and sweet root vegetables with a viscous mouthfeel. A long finish reveals minerals, roots, grassy weeds, and green elements. The profile balances sweet fruit with deep, woody undertones for a complex sensory structure.

About the Brand
Lamata (formerly named Amormata) is the for-export label of Nacion de Las Verdes Matas, a small unregistered brand started by Luis Loya many years ago. His goal is to share mezcal from Northern Mexico from places that are under-represented in the market. Luis has relationships with producers in Durango, Nuevo Leon, Sonora, Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas among others. The typical lot sizes of Lamata releases range from about 40 liters to 200 liters. The producers will continue to make about the same amount of spirits that they historically have in the past. Therefore, the brand will not bottle much more than a total of three to five thousand liters per year. Lamata is dedicated to promoting the “gusto historico”, the terroir, the liquid culture, and the history that is mezcal to people beyond the borders of the places where it is made.
