At this point we are familiar with Durango as a locale, and Cenizo as an agave varietal. This mezcal is unique in that it is made 100% by the use of solar energy. It is cooked in a steam-heated steel oven, processed by a mechanical grinder, vat fermented, and double-distilled in a still that was retrofitted onto a tractor – all solar powered.

MDL makes all of their engineering for this project open source in case other aspiring mezcaleros wish to institute solar power into their production processes. this limited mezcal delivers fresh herbal aromas on the nose and a clean, long-lasting candied finish on the full-bodied palate.
