Destilado de Agave Masparillo 'Durango'

• Destilado de Agave produced in Mezquital, Durango
• Maestros Vinateros Federico & Enrique de la Cruz
• 100% Masparillo (A. maximiliana var. katharinae)
• Cooked in a conical underground oven
• Milled by hand with axe
• Fermented in underground stone vats lined with wood
• Distilled twice in a Filipino wood and copper still; the stalk of the pitallo cactus is used as a receiving arm

Another banger from Mezquital’s storied de la Cruz family! Masparillo here refers to a member of the A. maximiliana family which grows throughout parts of Durango, Nayarit, Zacatecas, Jalisco, and Sinaloa. It is a medium-sized plant that takes around 9 years to mature with wide, fat leaves (pencas) that taper into a narrow spade shape.
