Derrumbes San Luis Potosí is made using Salmiana agave, that are picked at their maturity and then cooked in an above ground oven known as hornos using volcanic rocks heated by dry quiotes. Derrumbes San Luis Potosí is a relatively austere nose that gives way to a sweet, vegetal, and complex palate that’s very approachable for a traditional mezcal. This mezcal is well balanced and fruity, this is a great mezcal for sipping.
NOSE : Smoky and rich with stony minerality - abandoned fire pits in a damp forest. Hiding under the smoke is pungent cooked agave, with cooked fruit, sweet spice and a hint of fruity sourness. Peppery spice sits underneath it all, with a touch of coal smoke. PALATE : Soft and sweet, with puckering sour fruit balanced by a sweet and candied cooked agave note that also is very vegetal. The smoke is well-integrated, as is the stoniness from the nose, giving a background of rich and warming peppery spice and campfire notes. FINISH : Initially peppery and spicy, with creamy and fruity notes building and then slowly fading.
