Taste
Mezcal Derrumbes Durango is smoky and sweet with notes of pepper-sprinkled strawberries, mingled with candied lime peels, freshly rubbed mint and soy sauce. The palate, is an alarming combination that works surprisingly well. Refreshing and crisp minty flavors awaken your palate with chocolate notes following shortly after. Underneath everything is a layer of savory umami: reduced soy sauce, buttered toast and grilled meat.  Sweet fruity notes builds, with sweet cooked agave joined by sharp granny smith apples. The mint fades to reveal strong mineral notes and a touch of sugary sweetness. Fruit and pepper remain.

History
Mezcal Derrumbes Durango is the unaged Artisanal mezcal. Durango is the most north-eastern state in the Mezcal DO area, and is known for its wild but abundant Agave Duranguense, known locally as Cenizo ("ash", because of the color). Maestro Mezcalero Uriel Simental follows the traditional method of production, using a horno de tierra, Tahona, natural fermentation, and small scale distillation in copper pot stills. The flavor profile obtained is fruity and zinging, with hints of tropical fruit, citrus (pomelo), and tamarind, underpinned with a little smokiness and pine notes. When it hits the palate it explodes with these fruity vibrant notes, and has a textured feeling in the mouth. The finish is fresh and fruity.
