Explore the lesser-known mezcal-producing regions of Mexico with Mezcal Derrumbes San Luis Potosí, a unique expression crafted from 100% Salmiana agave in the central Mexican plateau. This artisanal joven mezcal offers a distinct departure from the smokier mezcals of Oaxaca, delivering a flavor that is fresh, herbaceous, and lightly mineral-driven.
Distilled in San Luis Potosí using traditional methods by local mezcaleros, this spirit is produced from Agave Salmiana Crassispina, often known as the “Green Giant” due to its size and intense aromatic profile. Unlike pit-roasted agaves, Salmiana is typically steam-cooked in above-ground ovens, leading to a cleaner, brighter style of mezcal with less smoke and more green, grassy complexity.
Perfect for those looking to expand their agave knowledge or discover the terroir-driven diversity of mezcal.
