Description

Lagrimas de Dolores Cenizo Anejo Mezcal

Lagrimas de Dolores Anejo is made with agave Durangenis (maguey Cenizo) in the state of Durango. This mezcal is made by maestra mezcalera Fabiola Ávila.  She has a degree in Biochemistry and Biotechnology with a specialization in fermentation from the Technological Institute of Durango. Raul Resendiz is a biochemist who also assists in the production of this mezcal. This mezcal is aged for one year in first-generation white oak barrels before bottling.

Agave Cenizo grows in large numbers throughout the mountain range of Durango and gets its name from the ash-green colour on its Pencas (leaves). This varietal of Agave can withstand harsh environmental conditions that causes it to concentrate all its sugars and fluids into its core which produces a sweet, creamy and delicious Mezcal. The Agave is cooked for five days in an underground pit with Encino wood, fermented in pinewood tubs and distilled in copper pot stills.

AROMA: Barrel, age and honey notes hit you before tasting, then you are assured it’s a mezcal with smoke and a touch of new leather.
TASTE:  ​There is a smooth mouth feel with enough agave and some earthy flavours to remind you the origin of the spirit. Caramel and even some coffee and honey notes can be found on the back palate.
ENJOY: Delicious to sip neat or great as a cocktail inclusion for a classic Tommy's Style Mezcal Margarita, or paired with Grilled Whitefish, Humus, Poultry Dishes, Chocolates

Lagrimas de Dolores is made at Hacienda Dolores, which is run by the Gutierrez family and situated about 10 minutes from Durango City. They have a goal of replanting for each of the agave that they use in their mezcal. They report that they have an annual goal of planting around 50,000 agaves. Their bottle was designed in Feuquières, France. The leather on the cap is meant to be a signature feature from Mexican fine-horse culture. Their logo is a representation of Our Lady of Sorrows (latin: Mater Dolorosa) the patron saint of Hacienda Dolores. Their Joven and Anejo mezcal are produced entirely with Agave durangensis, which is endemic to the State of Durango in Northern Mexico. They also have special limited releases that feature rare agave like I’gok, Cimmarion, and Tepemete.
