Derrumbes No. 3 San Luis Mezcal, 70cl
Brand: Derrumbes | Category: Mezcal Artesanal | ABV: 47.8% | Origin: San Luis Potosí, Mexico | Vol: 70cl

Intro/Heritage:
From the mineral-rich heart of San Luis Potosí comes a mezcal unlike any other. Derrumbes No. 3 is a portal into central Mexico’s mezcal tradition, where wild agave and volcanic stone combine to craft a spirit that’s both ancient and electrifying. It's the desert distilled, earthy, floral, and defiantly complex.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like rain on warm stone, flint, roasted agave, dried sage, and delicate floral notes rise gently from the glass.
Palate: Silky with a structured backbone. Roasted maguey, pink peppercorn, smoked herbs, and hints of stone fruit glide through with a clean, earthy minerality.
Finish: Bright, dry, and aromatic. Long notes of sandalwood, fresh tobacco, and sun-dried agave linger with an elegant fade.

Production Details:
Made by maestro mezcalero Manuel Pérez using 100% Salmeana agave, this mezcal is roasted in stone ovens (not underground pits), fermented with wild yeasts in masonry tanks, and distilled in copper stills. The highland terroir and above-ground cooking give it a uniquely fresh, mineral-driven profile, crisp, clean, and deeply expressive.

Perfect For:
A contemplative nightcap for the creatively restless. Best enjoyed during deep conversation, desert soundscapes, or any moment that calls for something quietly profound.

Expert Notes:
Derrumbes San Luis Mezcal is beloved by agave aficionados for offering a completely different lens on mezcal, lighter, floral, and more mineral than its Oaxacan cousins. A true regional outlier with unmistakable character.

Customer Reviews:
🗨️ “Elegant and earthy. Like sipping on a desert breeze.”
🗨️ “Floral, smoky, and clean — a mezcal with depth and clarity.”
🗨️ “This bottle proves that not all mezcal needs to shout. Some whisper, and you still listen.”

Interesting Fact:
Unlike most mezcals that use pit-roasting, the agaves for this expression are cooked in above-ground hornos, giving the spirit a fresher, less smoky flavor, a hallmark of the San Luis Potosí style.

Serving Suggestions:
Sip neat in a copita or wine glass. Let it sit for a minute to bloom. Pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables, citrus-cured fish, or even aged manchego. Avoid cocktails, this one speaks best on its own.

Distillery Background:
Derrumbes curates artisanal mezcals from across Mexico’s lesser-known regions. Each bottle is a love letter to a specific terroir and technique. The San Luis expression is one of its most distinctive, soft-spoken but unforgettable, crafted where agave meets altitude.
