Derrumbes Mezcal Durango Rare Perfection and a mellow textureDurango is the most north eastern state in the Mezcal DO area and is known for its wild but abundant Agave Durangensis, 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. Derrumbes Mezcal Durango has a nice balance between sweet dark fruit flavors and minerality.
