Derrumbes Zacatecas is made from 100% Tequilana/ Blue Weber in the village of Huitzila, Zacatecas, right across the canyon that divides it from the valley of Tequila. Being so close, Zacatecas is mostly known for mezcal produced in the fashion of Tequila. The Bañuelos family, however, are among the few mezcaleros in Zacatecas that produce traditional mezcal. Pit roasted, tahona ground and spontaneously fermented, Derrumbes Zacatecas is an opportunity to travel back in time to experience a more ancient expression of Blue agave.
