Pierde Almas Mezcal
Leyendas Cenizo (Durango)
Leyendas Cenizo (Durango) is a Joven mezcal from Durango produced by Jose Ventura Gallegos. This expression uses Durangensis agave and carries NOM-D104G on its label. It offers a creamy, buttery mouthfeel with notes of tropical fruit and blackberry yogurt. Earthy undertones of clay, minerals, and wet leaves ground the profile significantly. Light smoke emerges alongside savory hints of charred meat and tobacco in this spirit. Floral and herbal elements, including thyme and mint, add complexity to the overall structure. The finish lingers with sweet caramel and a warming pepper spice that invites another sip.
