Derrumbes Mezcal Zacatecas 200ml

Derrumbes approaches mezcal with terroir as a guiding principle. Each bottling focuses on one region specifically, encompassing the varieties of agave and varied production styles of that place. While we cannot come close to saying that these bottlings are definitive of each state they represent, they are a great snapshot of mezcal’s eccentricity based on location. The team behind this brand is Venenosa’s Esteban Garibi and Sergio Mendoza Garcia of Don Fulano, two well-established names in the artisanal spirits world of Mexico. Zacatecas is made in the village of Huitzila, Zacatecas, just across the canyon that separates it from the valley of Tequila. Given the proximity, Zacatecas is known for mezcal produced in the style of Tequila- however, the Bañuelos family are among the few mezcaleros dedicated to producing traditional mezcal in the region. 100% Tequilana Weber, it is pit roasted, tahona ground, and spontaneously fermented - a rare chance to experience a more ancient expression of Blue Agave!
