Durango

Durango, located in northern Mexico, is known for producing high-quality Mezcal and other agave spirits with distinctive regional character. The region’s varied terrain, elevation, and volcanic soils provide ideal conditions for growing agave, which contributes to the unique earthy, smoky, and mineral-forward flavors typical of Durango spirits. Artisanal producers in Durango often follow traditional methods, including slow roasting agave hearts in earthen pits, natural fermentation, and small-batch distillation in copper or clay stills. This dedication to heritage and craftsmanship allows each spirit to reflect the terroir and centuries-old traditions of the region, earning Durango a respected place among Mexico’s notable agave-producing areas.
