Derrumbes Mezcal Artesanal Durango Joven 100% Agave (Orange Label) 750ml

Derrumbes Mezcal Artesanal Durango Joven 100% Agave (Orange Label) — Nombre de Dios, Durango, Mexico

Derrumbes — Spanish for “landslides” — is a project dedicated to showcasing the extraordinary regional diversity of Mexican mezcal. Each expression in the lineup is produced in a different state, with a different endemic agave variety, by a different maestro mezcalero, using traditional artisanal methods. The result is a collection of mezcals that reads like a map of Mexico’s most remote and storied distilling traditions.

The Durango expression is produced in the remote village of Nombre de Dios in the northern state of Durango, using 100% Agave Durangensis — an endemic variety found only in this region. Maestro mezcalero Uriel Simental distills in unique wood and copper stills fitted with a neck for external condensation, a technique that contributes to the spirit’s distinctive character and refined texture.

The result is an exciting balance of summer fruit, nuts, and dry minerality, finishing seamlessly with a beautiful, light smokiness — complex and approachable in equal measure.
