Derrumbes Durango Mezcal
Brand: Derrumbes | Category: Mezcal Artesanal | ABV: 48.6% | Origin: Durango, Mexico | Vol: 70cl

Intro/Heritage:
From the volcanic highlands of northern Mexico comes a mezcal as wild as the terrain it’s born from. Derrumbes Durango is a rebel spirit, made from the rare Cenizo agave and crafted in remote mountain kilns. Earthy, smoky, and deeply mineral, this bottle captures the taste of untamed land, isolation, and tradition passed down through fire and stone.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Raw and rustic, think damp clay, charcoal smoke, and fresh-cut cactus. A pulse of green herbs and crushed stone rises with each swirl.
Palate: Firm, textured, and unapologetically earthy. Grilled agave, roasted chestnuts, flint, and a kiss of salinity move across the palate in waves. It’s primal and polished at once.
Finish: Long and gripping. Dry ash, wild mint, and mineral salt linger like the scent of rain on parched soil.

Production Details:
Crafted by maestro mezcalero Urial Simental in Nombre de Dios, this artisanal mezcal is made from 100% Cenizo agave, a wild species native to Durango. Roasted in underground stone pits, milled by axe, and distilled in hybrid wood and copper stills, it’s mezcal that tells a regional story few have ever tasted.

Perfect For:
This is the pour for the seekers, those who collect bottles not just for flavor, but for the story. Best enjoyed under an open sky or after a night of bold conversation. It’s your sip of adventure, bottled and aged in silence.

Expert Notes:
Derrumbes Durango is beloved among mezcal aficionados for its raw authenticity and rugged terroir. The Cenizo agave is known for its high minerality and smoky edge — making this one of the most distinctive expressions in Derrumbes’ regional lineup.

Customer Reviews:
🗨️ “Like drinking a desert thunderstorm — wild, earthy, unforgettable.”
🗨️ “This isn’t a cocktail mezcal. This is pour-it-slow, eyes-closed mezcal.”
🗨️ “If terroir had a voice, it would sound like this.”

Interesting Fact:
The hybrid still used in this mezcal is unique to Durango, a wooden fermentation tank with a copper top, passed down through generations. It imparts a subtle resinous character you won’t find in mezcals from Oaxaca or Guerrero.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat in a copita to appreciate the full flavor arc. Let it breathe, then sip slowly. For a daring pairing, try it with aged Manchego, charred lamb, or salted dark chocolate.

Distillery Background:
Derrumbes is a journey through Mexico in liquid form, each bottling a tribute to a different region, agave species, and production method. The Durango edition is among its most elemental, highlighting a terroir often left off the mezcal map, until now.
