Derrumbes Oaxaca

Derrumbes Oaxaca is an artisanal mezcal from San Agustín Amatengo, Oaxaca, Mexico, made from Espadín and Tobalá agaves. It is produced by Maestro Mezcalero Justino García Cruz using traditional methods: cooking in an underground stone pit, milling with a tahona, spontaneous fermentation in open wooden vats and double distillation in copper stills, then resting at least 60 days in glass. It is a joven mezcal. The nose shows ripe stone fruit, roasted wood, wild flowers, light smoke, banana and citrus oil; the palate is elegant with lime, green apple, cucumber, honey, candy, spice and subtle smoke; the finish is soft, creamy and fresh with light smoke and a mineral note.
