Mezcal Doble Cobre From the Mountains of Nombre de Dios, Durango

In the mountain landscapes of Nombre de Dios, Durango, mezcal is not produced; it is inherited. There, where the climate challenges and the land rewards, grows a jewel found nowhere else in the world: the endemic Cenizo Durangensis agave. It is here that Mauro Débora Escobar, a third-generation master mezcalero, keeps a family secret alive. While in other regions agave is crushed with great stone wheels or machinery, Mauro upholds Durango’s purest tradition: milling by hand with an axe.

Every stroke of the axe is a tribute to his ancestors. It is a monumental physical effort that demands precision and respect, turning the agave fiber into an untamed elixir. This artisanal process, crowned by double copper distillation at Doble Cobre, gives life to a mezcal whose character and identity cannot be replicated.

When you taste Doble Cobre, you are not just savoring a great spirit. You are tasting the history, the hands and the soul of the Durango sierra, guided by Don Mauro.
