Derrumbes Mezcal Joven San Luis Potosí
Derrumbes San Luis Potosí is a distinctive desert mezcal made entirely from wild Salmiana Crassispina agave growing naturally in the high plateau of San Luis Potosí. Maestro Mezcalero Juan Manuel Pérez cooks the agave in an above-ground masonry oven, using dried agave leaves and quiotes (flowering stalks) as fuel—a regional technique born partly from the scarcity of wood in this arid landscape. The cooked agave is tahona crushed, naturally fermented with wild yeast in masonry vats, and twice distilled in copper pot stills. The result is very different from the heavily smoky Oaxaca style: floral, intensely vegetal and herbaceous, with green pepper, mineral/chalky notes, gentle fruit sweetness and warming spice.
