Derrumbes San Luis Potosi Mezcal 200ML

Description

Derrumbes San Luis Potosi Mezcal 200ML-Derrumbes‘ third expression is a mezcal from the dessert produced exclusively from the extensive wild agave Salmiana Crassispina that grows naturally in the High Plateau of San Luis Potosi.

With not enough trees to support mezcal production, Maestro mezcalero Manuel Perez forages for dry Salmiana leaves and quiotes to use as fuel. The result is an incredibly unique mezcal that reflects the flavors of its surroundings like no other.

This floral and herbaceous mezcal from the village of Charcas has just the right touch of sweetness to balance its delicate intensity.

Tasting Notes

• A very aromatic nose, with notes of raw green peppers, Padron peppers, jalapenos, and a big bunch of spearmint and peppermint. The mild sweetness, a drop of lemon juice, and white pepper add complexity and balance to the aroma, while the slight barn/manure funk might add some earthiness and depth.
• On the palate, the mezcal has a nice arrival and perceptual sweetness, with flavors of candied Padron peppers, gentle smokiness, and earthiness.
• The cream cheese and more mint add some creaminess and freshness, while the mezcal remains pleasantly sweet, savory, and earthy, with a slight citric and mineral grip that lingers on the finish. The full coating texture could indicate a mezcal with some weight and body, enhancing the overall drinking experience.

Overall, a well-balanced and enjoyable mezcal with a unique flavor profile.
