Derrumbes Oaxaca Mezcal

Derrumbes is a traditional producer of mezcal from Oaxaca, to Michoacan and beyond. Their signature style is to cook their agave in stone pits underground, using black oak. Their unique fermentation process involves underground tanks lined with pine wood for fermentation, and distillation via a wooden still, all of which guarantee some of the most intriguing and unique aromas and flavors to be experienced in Mezcal. Handcrafted by Maestro Mezcalero Javier Mateo, Derrumbes Oaxaca is a perfect example of a signature Central Valley Oaxacan mezcal. Being cooked underground in black oak gives the agave a light smokiness, enhancing the minerality and fruitiness of the Espadin character. This subtly smoky mezcal is twice-distilled in copper pot stills and rested for three months in large glass bottles at a solid 48% ABV. You can expect bright, bold notes of jasmine, citrus, lightly smoked agave, pine, and fruit. “A thick, flavorsome and intriguing spirit. The intense flavors provide a backbone but don’t swamp the more delicate notes” (producer). Pick up your bottle today!
