Mezcal Derrumbes San Luis Potosí Mezcal 750ml

MEXICO : SAN LUIS POTOSÍ

Wild Agave Salmiana Crassispina

MED-BODIED, JALAPEÑO, CREAM CHEESE, COOKED AGAVE, CHALKY MINERAL

Derrumbes — "landslide" — takes its name seriously: the San Luis Potosí expression is an outlier that upends what mezcal is supposed to taste like. No smokiness. The high-plateau desert of San Luis Potosí has no trees for fuel, so maestro Juan Manuel Pérez Juárez forages for dry Salmiana leaves and quiotes to fire above-ground hornos instead of underground pit ovens. The result is a clean, mineral distillate that tastes like the desert it came from.

Wild Agave Salmiana Crassispina grows naturally in calcareous soils at altitude. That limestone geology comes through directly: a chalky minerality distinct from any Oaxacan mezcal. The agave is tahona-milled, naturally fermented with wild yeast, and twice-distilled in small copper pot stills.

What you get is savory-green and lactic — jalapeño, cream cheese, cooked agave sweetness — with a clean, dry finish. Polarizing in the best way.
