Mezcal Derrumbes San Luis Potosí

The nose very “green” akin to jalapeno/poblano peppers with undertones of cheese…perhaps a touch of onions in there as well. Basically, it smells like jalapeno poppers in a glass. Taste is more of the same with a pepper spice kick. The green pepper flavors cling to your palate forever. I am literally still tasting it 30 minutes later. Overall, a solid and distinctive mezcal that pushes a lot of great buttons and is an absolute bargain. I just wish that it had a higher ABV which I venture would bring out more depth. I recently had a taste of a Mezonte Jalisco Raicilla that shared a lot of these flavors with tons of extra depth and complexity and blew my mind.

Nose: jalapeño! All over green peppers, fresh, hint of molasses(tropical fruit) and menthol, fresh manure. Palate: again Jalapeño being pronounced, chilli feel and green pepper flavour. Hint of carroway sweetness at end. Herbaceous and not as dry as others. Finish: so Mexican, bit of smoke, green pepper again. Fajita. Peach

Great for a beginner mezcal drinker who wants to branch into some different varietals OR for the drinker who thinks they don’t like mezcal!

Notes of green chili peppers, anise, light smoke, earth...and salty parmigiano reggiano cheese. Round. Solid finish.

Mild salinity, little bit of slate almost like a wet concrete. Nice piney aromas, undertones of leather

Very unique. Spicy, jalapeño notes with a bit of funky cheese like notes as well. Really tasty!
