$128.99
Derrumbes Oaxaca is made with maguey Espadin (ands sometimes maguey Tobala). The agave is cooked in an underground stone pit using black oak to give a light smokiness, which complements the mineral and fruit notes of the Espadin from which it is crafted. It is distilled twice in copper pot stills and rested for 60 days in large glass containers. The resulting liquid is 48% ABV.
On the Nose : Smoke, fruit (citrus, stone fruit), ash, and some sweeter notes like vanilla or butterscotch were commonly noted. Some found earthy or mineral scents.
On the Palate : Smoke, fruit (citrus, plum, raspberry), minerals, and heat were frequently mentioned. Some detected pepper, salt, or candy-like sweetness.
