The Durango decanter stands apart from the core tequila collection through its textured matte black clay finish, showcasing an embossed central flower medallion and traditional sun motif. The cap represents an intensive artistic collaboration, hand-decorated with precision geometric beadwork by Wixárika (Huichol) tribal artisans. Because each cap and clay element is entirely manually driven, no two examples exhibit identical patterning, retaining maximum secondary-market collectible asset value.

This production relies strictly on wild-harvested maguey Cenizo endemic to the arid terrain of Durango. Pit-roasting over volcanic rocks infuses a subtle, volcanic terroir without masking the native botanical agave properties. Fermentation relies completely on airborne wild yeasts inside uncovered timber tanks. Following the traditional palenque protocol, double-distillation takes place in small artisanal copper stills, prioritizing a smooth mouthfeel over intense heavy smoke distillates.

Is Clase Azul Durango a tequila?

No, it is a certified artisanal mezcal. It is produced from wild Cenizo agave plants native to the state of Durango, utilizing underground pit roasting rather than the steaming protocols reserved for the brand's blue agave tequilas in Jalisco.

How should this mezcal be served?

We suggest enjoying it completely neat at room temperature in a traditional wide copita or small clay tumbler. Adding two to three teardrops of room-temperature distilled water will expand the herbal clove signatures without throwing off the texture of the spirit.
