Derrumbes Oaxaca Mezcal

Derrumbes Oaxaca Mezcal is a masterful expression of traditional mezcal production from the heart of Oaxaca, primarily utilizing the Espadín agave. This single-village mezcal is crafted using artisanal methods, including slow cooking the agaves in an underground pit oven, crushing them with a stone tahona, and double-distilling in copper pot stills. This process imparts a perfectly balanced profile, offering a clean, gentle smokiness that complements the spirit’s bright, herbaceous core. On the palate, expect notes of sweet cooked agave, green pepper, citrus zest, and a subtle salinity reflecting the Oaxacan terroir. It is an ideal sipping mezcal, showcasing the deep cultural heritage of the region while remaining accessible to those new to the category.
