Clase Azul Mezcal Joven Cenizo 88
Clase Azul ventures beyond tequila with the Mezcal Joven Cenizo 88, a rare expression built around the wild Cenizo agave and the ancient smoke-driven craft that defines artisanal mezcal at its finest.
Crafted from Cenizo agave, a variety native to the high desert regions of Durango and Chihuahua, this joven mezcal honors traditional production methods rooted in pit roasting and small-batch distillation. The result is an unaged spirit that preserves the raw, terroir-driven character of one of Mexico's most distinctive wild agaves.
- Nose: Earthy smoke, roasted agave, dried herbs, and a whisper of mineral stone that speaks to the desert landscape where Cenizo agave thrives.
- Palate: Bold yet balanced, with layers of smoky wood, cooked agave sweetness, dark chocolate, and a subtle note of dried chili that lingers with complexity.
- Finish: Long and warming, with lingering smoke, toasted oak, and a clean minerality that invites another sip.
The Clase Azul Mezcal Joven Cenizo 88 holds its own in a smoky Mezcal Negroni or a Oaxacan Old Fashioned, where its depth and earthy backbone stand up beautifully to bittersweet and caramel-forward companions.
Best enjoyed neat or with a single ice cube to open up its layers. Made from wild Cenizo agave sourced from the northern desert highlands of Mexico, this expression represents Clase Azul's commitment to honoring the full breadth of agave spirits culture.
