Derrumbes San Luis Potosi Mezcal - 750ml

Derrumbes is a mezcal project that bottles small-production spirits from different Mexican states rather than sourcing everything from Oaxaca, and this expression comes from San Luis Potosí using agave and traditional production methods specific to that region. Because the underlying agave species and palenque practices differ from the better-known Oaxacan style, expect a leaner, more mineral and herbal profile than a typical Oaxacan mezcal, with smoke playing a supporting role rather than the lead. It's a bottle for mezcal drinkers who already know Oaxaca's espadín-driven mezcals and want to taste how a different Mexican terroir and agave variety changes the spirit. Sip it neat to get the clearest read on the regional character.

How to drink Derrumbes San Luis Potosí Mezcal

Taste it side by side with an Oaxacan mezcal if you have one open — the regional contrast is the whole reason to seek out a Derrumbes bottling. A small pinch of salt on the back of the hand, in the traditional style, can help the agave notes come forward on the first sip.
