Derrumbes Oaxaca Joven Mezcal

Description

Derrumbes Oaxaca Joven Mezcal is cooked in an underground stone pit using black oak to give a light smokiness, which complements the maguey Espadin.

Derrumbes Oaxaca is made with maguey Espadin (ands sometimes maguey Tobala). The agave is cooked in an underground stone pit using black oak to give a light smokiness, which complements the mineral and fruit notes of the Espadin from which it is crafted.

The fermentation is naturally aided by the addition of pulque from the agave Americana before wild yeasts complete the 72-hour process. Derrumbes Oaxaca is twice-distilled in copper pot stills, the resulting liquid is 48% ABV, which is rested for 60 days in large glass containers.
