IZO was founded by Gaston Martinez, a native of Durango, Mexico, and offers a line of premium, handcrafted agave spirits made in a sustainable manner in the heart of this rural town, following centuries of tradition. Every sip of award-winning IZO Mezcal, made sustainably from slow-roasted, wild agave hearts harvested on local ranches, speaks to generations of Mezcaleros who have brought people together.
