Derrumbes Tamaulipas Mezcal
Brand: Derrumbes | Category: Mezcal Artesanal | ABV: 45.5% | Origin: Tamaulipas, Mexico | Vol: 70cl

Intro/Heritage:
Few have dared, even fewer have tasted. Derrumbes Tamaulipas is not just mezcal, it’s a passport to one of Mexico’s most remote and mysterious terroirs. Produced in a region rarely open to outsiders, this bottle channels the untamed spirit of the Sierra Madre with fire, funk, and elegance. It's wild, earthy, and fiercely authentic, a dram for the brave.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like standing in the high desert after a thunderstorm, wet earth, wild herbs, and sun-scorched agave. There’s a raw vegetal funk with a hint of overripe mango and white pepper.
Palate: Explosive and complex. Notes of charred pineapple, green olives, and smoked jalapeño ride a wave of clay-rich minerality. It’s oily, spicy, and unapologetically bold.
Finish: Long, savory, and smoldering. Ash, salt, and roasted nuts linger with an echo of spice and sweet cactus fruit.

Production Details:
Crafted in the tiny village of San Carlos by maestro mezcalero Cuauthemóc Jacquez, this mezcal is made from a rare combination of three wild agaves: Funkiana, Americana, and Univittata. Pit-roasted, tahona-crushed, and open-air fermented with native yeasts, every step honors tradition and the terroir does the rest.

Perfect For:
This is your wild card. Pour it at intimate dinner parties or pair it with rich, smoky dishes, mole negro, charred lamb, or even a decadent dark chocolate tart. It’s not here to play nice, it’s here to make memories.

Expert Notes:
Derrumbes Tamaulipas is beloved by agave purists and rare spirit collectors. Its production is perilously limited due to the region's remoteness and instability. Each bottle is a snapshot of a mezcal world few ever glimpse, bold, ancestral, and hauntingly beautiful.

Customer Reviews:
🗨️ “This isn’t beginner mezcal — it’s a rabbit hole. And I’m all in.”
🗨️ “Funky, smoky, earthy — like mezcal’s wilder cousin just crashed the party.”
🗨️ “Feels ancient, tastes electric. I’ve never had anything like it.”

Interesting Fact:
Due to safety concerns and scarcity, Tamaulipas mezcals are incredibly difficult to source and rarely exported. This bottling is not just artisanal, it’s geopolitical.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve neat in a copita or clay vessel to honor its roots. Let it sit for a minute to open up, then sip slowly. It evolves with every breath, shifting between earthy and tropical, smoky and herbal.

Distillery Background:
Derrumbes isn’t a distillery, it’s a curated series of mezcal snapshots from across Mexico. Each release highlights a different region, agave species, and maestro mezcalero. Their Tamaulipas edition is among the rarest, offering a glimpse into a mezcal tradition nearly lost to history and geography.
