Derrumbes San Luis Potosi Mezcal (75cl, 43.5%)

A 100% wild Agave Salmiana mezcal from Charcas, San Luis Potosi, on the high-altitude Central Mexican Plateau. Unlike other Derrumbes expressions, the agave is cooked in an above-ground oven over volcanic rocks heated by dry quiotes, with no earth pit, so it takes on almost no smoke. It is tahona-milled, wild-yeast fermented in masonry vats, double-distilled in copper and rested in glass before bottling. The ABV varies by set and is printed on the label, most commonly around 43.5%. It is the clean, mineral, unsmoky expression of the range.
