Derrumbes San Luis Potosi Mezcal

Derrumbes San Luis Potosí Mezcal is a unique expression of the ancestral spirit, crafted in the high altitude desert environment of the San Luis Potosí region. It is made from the Salmiana agave, which grows wild and is known for its distinctly herbal and mineral-driven profile. Unlike many other mezcals, this variety is typically produced without the characteristic smoky flavor, as the agave often isn't cooked in underground earthen ovens. Instead, it is commonly distilled in copper pots or clay stills after being cooked in above-ground masonry ovens. This process results in a mezcal that showcases savory notes of green pepper, fresh herbs, and damp earth, with a bright, peppery finish. It is an exceptional choice for those seeking a complex, non-smoky agave spirit that highlights the terroir of the Mexican highlands.
