Derrumbes Durango Mezcal 700ml

Derrumbes Durango is made with Cenizo (Durangesis) agave in Nombre de Dios, Durango. The process of creating this intriguing mezcal is overseen dutifully by maestro mezcalero Urial Simental, from the cooking of the agave in stone pits underground using black oak, to the fermentation in underground tanks lined with pine wood and wooden stills.

The result is a mezcal with a distinctive Derrumbes character, from a region that is gaining a reputation for mezcal production for all the right reasons. Floral and earthy – there’s pollen, cut flower stems, wet clay, papaya, maple syrup and bubblegum. On the palate, it turns to sweet and fruity, with mango, strawberry, wildflower honey, and a bit of minerality tying things together. Medium bodied.

ABV: 45%
