In the far north-east of the Mezcal Denomination of Origin region, mezcal made in Tamaulipas is unique and rarely found outside of Mexico. Two of the agave varietals used, known as Amole (Agave Funkiana and Agave Univittata), are endemic to this state. These small football-sized agave hearts are cooked together with the much larger Agave Americana by Maestro Mezcalero Cuauthemoc Jacques following the traditional method of production, using a horno de tierra (ground oven), natural fermentation with wild yeast in wooden vats, and small scale distillation in copper pot stills.
Derrumbes was a project started by Esteban Morales to help showcase the complexities not only of agaves across Mexico but also how terroir and different productions can play a role into the different flavors you taste. Derrumbes is a great way to learn all those different subletes that lead to all the complexities of each of the mezcales in this collection.
