Local Tradition
WORLD-CLASS SPIRIT
Born and raised in Durango, Mexico, IZO Co-Founder Gaston Martinez experienced the rich connection of a community established on the shared values of preserving the land and gathering in celebration of everyday moments to savor the rewards of a job well done.
“In my family and culture, Mezcal was always a symbol of celebration and the pure enjoyment of life - now, I’m proud to share the clean, smooth flavor of our naturally-produced Mexican spirits with the world.”

Every premium batch of IZO spirits features wild-grown agave or desert spoon, hand-harvested and slow-roasted to perfection by skilled Mezcaleros.
ABOUT AGAVE
Agave is an “evergreen” desert succulent that has very little ability to handle frost, which thrives in the arid, warm weather regions of North America, Central America, the West Indies, and South America. Known for their large, sturdy, fibrous leaves marked by serrated edges and sharp tips, the vast majority of agave genus flower just once during their five to ten year lifetimes. Depending on the species of Agave the flowering spike can grow as high as 20 feet.
