Uncover a mezcal with tequila-like roots and a distinctive northern twist in Mezcal Derrumbes Zacatecas, a truly rare expression from one of Mexico’s least represented mezcal regions. Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave (Agave Tequilana Weber)—the same agave used in tequila—but produced under traditional mezcal methods, this joven mezcal bridges the gap between two iconic spirits.
Crafted in Huitzila, Zacatecas, just across the border from Jalisco, Derrumbes Zacatecas is pit-roasted, fermented in open-air vats, and distilled in copper stills, creating a mezcal that is lightly smoky, earthy, and refreshingly clean. Its crisp vegetal tones and soft minerality make it one of the most approachable mezcals for tequila drinkers venturing into the world of artisanal mezcal.
