Derrumbes Michoacan is made with maguey Cupreata, which brings mature fruit aromas, and maguey Alto (agave Inaequidens) which brings more herbal notes. It is cooked in an underground stone pit using black oak, and fermented in underground tanks lined with pine wood which adds to the herbal character. True to the tradition of mezcal production in this area, Derrumbes Michoacan is distilled using the Phillipino method, which predates copper-pot distillation. This technique requires the body of the still to be made from wood, with the alcohol vapors condensed by a copper pot full of water that sits at the top of the trunk. 

Aromas: Roasted agave, almonds, fresh-cut grass, and stone fruit. Also present: vanilla, cinnamon, and light smokiness.
Palate: Rich and silky with flavors of sweet agave, ripe tropical fruit, and toasted nuts. The finish is long, slightly creamy, and herbaceous.

Derrumbes Michoacán is produced using the traditional "Filipino-style" still, giving it a unique depth of flavor. The combination of Cupreata and Alto agaves creates a balanced and complex mezcal.
