Lagrimas de Dolores Lamparillo Mezcal

Lagrimas de Dolores Lamparillo Mezcal is a limited joven mezcal from Durango, a state with a wide variety of agaves not found in Oaxaca. It is made from Lamparillo, a wild, tough and fibrous agave (Agave asperrima, a name that translates as "rough") that thrives in the driest parts of Durango, around Nombre de Dios and the Cuencamé desert. The mezcaleros are Fabiola Ávila and Gilberto Roldán, the agave is milled with a mechanical shredder and the mezcal is distilled in copper, under certification NOM-D175G. It is a mezcal artesanal made from 100% agave by Lágrimas de Dolores, whose mezcals are produced at the 17th-century Hacienda Dolores in Durango, and it is bottled at 47% ABV in a 750ml bottle.

Serve: Neat, at room temperature, in small sips.
