Derrumbes Michoacn Mezcal 200ML

Description

Derrumbes Michoacn Mezcal 200ML – The second expression of Derrumbes is an elegant combination of Michoacns iconic Chino and Alto agaves and its unique ancestral distillation technique.

Chino (Cupreata) brings mature fruit notes, while Alto (Ineaquidens) complements a delicate herbaceous character resembling the surrounding pine forests. It is fermented under the red clay floor of the taberna in pinewood-lined pits to protect it from low temperatures to be distilled in Michoacns Philippine-style stills made of wood staves and copper over direct flame.

This exquisite sensory experience comes from renowned maestro Guadalupe Perez from the village of Tzitzio.
