Since the origin of the Universe in the fields of Durango, roots have appeared that gave life to the characteristic maguey of our Volcanic Zone, due to its size, its imposing presence in the mountains and great resistance to climate changes, magueys that, like their People, they are tough and persistent. But with a big heart, which in every drop transmits us the noble spirit of this land, EL MEZCAL DE DURANGO. This wild agave, known as “cenizo,” grows on the high-elevation desert plateau of Durango and Zacatecas. Its leaves appear greenish gray and leathery. A hardy species, it can withstand frost, allowing it to grow at higher elevations. The agave takes between 10 and 14 years to reach maturity and it takes 15 to 18 kg of pineapple to produce 1 liter of mezcal.
