Mezcal Derrumbes San Luis Potosí

A joven mezcal from Mezcal Derrumbes, made from 100% Agave Salmiana Crassispina in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. It is distilled using traditional methods by local mezcaleros, with the agave steam-cooked in above-ground ovens rather than pit-roasted. This gives a cleaner, brighter style with less smoke and more green, grassy complexity. It is certified Mezcal Artesanal with Denominación de Origen Protegida. The aroma suggests green herbs, cucumber, aloe vera and faint smoke; the palate brings minerality, white pepper, lemongrass and light saline; the finish is crisp, clean and vegetal with a slightly sweet agave touch.
