Clase Azul Mezcal Durango 750mL is a bold and deeply expressive mezcal that reflects the rugged beauty and volcanic soul of northern Mexico. Produced in the remote mountains of Durango, this ultra-premium mezcal is made from the wild Cenizo agave (Agave durangensis), a variety known for its rich minerality and complex flavor profile. Crafted by Clase Azul Spirits, it embodies both the brand’s signature artistry and the ancestral traditions of mezcal-making.

Each batch begins with wild-harvested Cenizo agave, slow-roasted in underground volcanic rock ovens, fermented naturally with wild yeasts, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. Bottled at 84 proof (42% ABV), Clase Azul Mezcal Durango delivers a beautifully smoky and earthy spirit with layers of spice, sweetness, and minerality. The hand-sculpted black ceramic decanter, adorned with turquoise paint accents, pays tribute to the natural stone and landscape of Durango — a masterpiece that embodies the strength of both land and craft.
