Mezcal Ajal

Villa José María Pino Suárez, Durango · Artisanal · Cenizo agave

Ajal means rebirth: bringing back the traditional way of making mezcal. Six Mexican women produce it in Villa José María Pino Suárez, Durango, with the producer house Diamante Mezcalero and three generations of craft. Endemic cenizo agave, a wood-fired conical stone oven, fermentation in wooden vats and double distillation in copper stills. Three agaves are replanted for every bottle, and its small batches already export to Japan, the European Union and Taiwan.
