Derrumbes Michoacán Mezcal 750ML: An Ancestral Elixir of Flavor and Craftsmanship
Delve into the soul of Michoacán with Derrumbes' second expression, a masterful blend of the region's signature Chino and Alto agaves. Distilled using ancient techniques, this mezcal offers a harmonious marriage of mature fruitiness from the Chino (Cupreata) and a delicate herbaceous tone from the Alto (Ineaquidens) agave, both of which are reflective of the pine forests that envelope the region.
Fermented in pinewood-lined pits beneath the red clay floors of the taberna and distilled in Michoacán’s traditional Philippine-style wooden stave stills, this mezcal comes to you from the skilled hands of Maestro Guadalupe Perez of Tzitzio village.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Captivating fruity and sweet aromas envelope the senses, punctuated by notes of sugar, strawberry, and red apple.
- Palate: A delectable blend of strawberry and red apple takes center stage, counterbalanced by an intriguing blue cheese funk. This creates a fascinating interplay between sweet and savory flavors. Further complexity is added by nuances of honey and oak.
- Mouthfeel: With a medium to low viscosity, the mezcal predominantly sits on the top of the tongue, suggesting a lighter-bodied spirit.
- Finish: Robust and enduring, the finish leaves an indelible impression, marked by intense and lingering flavors.
Discover Derrumbes Michoacán Mezcal—a singularly unique and enjoyable spirit that marries ancestral techniques with a flavor profile as rich and complex as its origins.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
