help Derrumbes FAQ
What types of agave does Derrumbes use in its mezcal?
Derrumbes produces mezcal from a variety of agave species depending on the regional expression, including Espadín, Tobalá, Cuishe, and Tepeztate among others. Each bottling is labeled with the specific agave variety or blend used and the state of origin. This variety is central to Derrumbes's mission of showcasing Mexico's diverse agave distillation traditions.
Which Mexican states does Derrumbes source its mezcal from?
Derrumbes works with mezcaleros across multiple Mexican states including Oaxaca, Michoacán, San Luis Potosí, and Durango, among others. Each state contributes distinct production methods, agave varieties, and flavor profiles. The brand specifically aims to highlight that mezcal is a broader Mexican tradition, not exclusively an Oaxacan one.
Is Derrumbes mezcal certified as authentic mezcal?
Derrumbes mezcal carries certification from the COMERCAM regulatory body (now known as the Mexican Regulatory Council of Mezcal), which verifies that the spirit meets legal standards for production methods, agave species, and geographic origin. Each bottle displays the certification information including the mezcalero's name and palenque location.
How should Derrumbes mezcal be served and drunk?
Derrumbes mezcal is best served neat at room temperature in small sips from a copita or jicara to appreciate the full range of agave flavors and aromas. Chilling or mixing premium single-village mezcals is generally discouraged by enthusiasts. Small sips allow the palate to detect the subtle differences between agave species and production regions.
