Derrumbes Michoacan Mezcal

Derrumbes Michoacán Mezcal is an artisanal mezcal crafted in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, using a rare blend of wild Agave Inaequidens (Alto) and Agave Cupreata (Chino). Pit-roasted in underground stone ovens, fermented in subterranean pine wood vats, and distilled in traditional wood-and-copper Asian-style stills (Filipino stills), it presents an exceptionally complex, fruit-forward, and pine-scented profile unique to its central Mexican highlands terroir.

Food Pairing: Roasted pork carnitas, grilled lamb chops, dark chocolate with sea salt, aged manchego cheese, or grilled pineapple.

Tasting Notes : Crystal clear with bright silver highlights and a rich, velvety, and mouth-coating feel.

Nose : Bright pine needles, ripe tropical fruits, cooked agave, subtle citrus peel, light herbal spice, and gentle wood smoke.

Palate : Complex and full-flavored with notes of sweet roasted agave, ripe tropical fruit, tart citrus, fresh pine, subtle leather, and balanced wood ash.

Finish : Long, warm, and lingering with notes of sweet fruit, subtle earthiness, pine resin, and soft wood smoke.
