Derrumbes Mezcal Durango

Derrumbes Mezcal Durango is an artisanal mezcal from Nombre de Dios, Durango, Mexico, made from 100% wild Agave durangensis (Cenizo) harvested after 10 to 13 years. It is produced under Maestro Mezcalero Uriel Simental using traditional methods, including underground cooking with black oak wood, hand crushing, spontaneous fermentation and double distillation in a hybrid wooden and copper still. The mezcal rests for at least 60 days in glass vessels and is classified as Joven. Nose: fresh herbs, cream and subtle mineral tones, with hints of vanilla, coconut, earthy pear, rosemary and thyme. Palate: soft herbs, chalky minerals, clay and coffee, with smoke, mineral and stone fruit notes developing into a rich sweet-and-salty blend; creamy texture with a subtle chilli spice. Finish: long and elegant, with fresh mineral and a hint of sweetness, plus lingering fruity and peppery tones.
