What Derrumbes Michoacán is a wilder and more tropical mezcal than the Oaxacan version. Because of the specific agave species used (Chino and Alto), it has a vibrant, funky fruitiness that sets it apart. It is incredibly fragrant. You’ll get a mix of sweet pine needles, tarragon, and a distinct tropical fruit punch scent. There is also a slight cheesy or yeasty funk from the underground fermentation that adds a unique depth. It feels rich and full-bodied. The flavor is a balance of roasted agave sweetness and bright, acidic fruits—think ripe peach, lime juice, and passionfruit. Because it is distilled in a Philippine-style still made of wood staves, it has a subtle, savory woodiness that isn't from a barrel, but from the actual distillation process. It ends with a long, clean wave of earthy spice, wet stones, and a touch of black pepper |

Why This is the ultimate history geek fact. Centruies ago, Filipino sailors on Spanish galleons brought their distillation techniques to Mexico's Pacific coast. In Michoacán, they still use these Philippine-style stills made of hollowed-out wood staves with a copper base. Because the spirit vapor touches wood during distillation, it picks up a savory, "forest" depth you won't find in standard copper-pot mezcals. |
