The Gutierrez family has been making Mezcal since 2009, using Cenizo which is indigenous to the state of Durango. The core Mezcals are distilled by Fabiola Avila at the Hacienda Dolores, a historic colonial estate that was built in the 1600s that has been painstakingly restored over the last 30 years. Because Durango has large diversity of agave varietals, second only to Oaxaca, Lagrimas has partnered with a number of vinatas. These are small run distilleries that harvest wild and semi-cultivated agaves in remote areas and distill them. Creamy on the palate, with a lactic and sweet flavor profile reminiscent of marshmallows. The smoke is very restrained, coming through only as a pleasant bitterness at the very end.
