Description
Uncover the wild, rugged character of northern Mexico with Mezcal Derrumbes Durango, an artisanal joven mezcal distilled from 100% Agave Durangensis (Cenizo). This rare agave species, native to the mountainous region of Durango, imparts a strikingly bold and earthy profile that’s unlike any other mezcal in the Derrumbes lineup.
Crafted using traditional methods by mezcaleros in Nombre de Dios, Durango, the agaves are pit-roasted with local woods, crushed with a tahona, and fermented naturally in open-air wooden vats. The spirit is then distilled in Filipino-style stills made of wood and copper, which add a distinct minerality and textural richness.
This mezcal is for those who crave adventure in every sip, bringing a robust expression of terroir and tradition straight from the highlands of Durango.
