Derrumbes third expression is a mezcal from the dessert produced exclusively from the extensive wild agave Salmiana Crassispina that grows naturally in the High Plateau of San Luis Potosi. With not enough trees to support mezcal production, Maestro mezcalero Manuel Perez forages for dry Salmiana leaves and quiotes to use as fuel. The result is an incredibly unique mezcal that reflects the flavors of its surroundings like no other. This floral and herbaceous mezcal from the village of Charcas has just the right touch of sweetness to balance its delicate intensity.

The scents of freshly cut grass and jalapeño pepper provide a unique nose experience. On the palate we find many mineral tones, which can be traced back to the chalky terroir that San Luis Potosi has. A full aftertaste with flavors of honey and dried fruit make this mezcal a unique in its kind.
