Aguerrido Mezcal
Lamata Verde Durango
Lamata Verde Durango is a joven agave spirit from the Simental family in Nombre de Dios, produced with wild salmiana agave. The profile features bright citrus and floral notes alongside distinct vegetal elements like cilantro, asparagus, and green peppers. Peppery warmth from jalapeño and arbol chiles contrasts with sweet undertones of honey, mint, and candied fruit. Mineral notes and mild cheese add complexity to the palate, while a long finish balances heat with refreshing cucumber and orange blossom nuances. This spirit reflects its Durango terroir through a clean, vibrant character that highlights the raw agave without unnecessary additives.

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.
