Derrumbes Mezcal is crafted by mezcalero Manuel Perez in San Luis Potosi, 235 miles north of Mexico City. The master distiller uses 100% wild Salmiana Agave, baked with volcanic rocks in an above-ground oven heated by oak and dried agave leaves and stems. The baked piñas are ground with a stone wheel before fermentation in masonry vats with wild yeasts, then twice-distilled in copper. Salmiani expresses flowers, herbs, chili pepper, peppercorns, barnyard, aged cheese, and a touch of sweetness. The final proof in this 7oz bottle is 86.
