Casa Volador Joven
Total Wine's Durango cenizo – commercial-tier
Score: 3.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Casa Volador Mezcal, Total Wine Spirits Direct
- Region: Durango
- Agave: Cenizo
- ABV: 42%
- Price: $35 ($)
Verdict
A credible commercial cenizo. Casa Volador is Total Wine's Durango-category store-brand, and the bottle delivers the state's northern pine-stone-hay signature cleanly at 42%. Not at the caliber of Burrito Fiestero or Derrumbes Durango, but an honest introduction at store-brand pricing, and a useful entry for drinkers curious about Durango before committing to specialty money. The community agrees. A respectable Total Wine Durango.
A Durango at commercial prices
