Derrumbes Zacatecas is made with agave Tequilana Weber, which is also commonly known as blue or azul agave. This agave is well known for it’s use in tequila, and the town of Huitzila, Zacatecas, where this mezcal is made, is very close to the Tequila Valley. The town is more well-known for mezcals that are made in a similar style of tequila, but the Bañuelos family is one of the only regional distillers producing traditional mezcals. Hacienda De Guadalupe is in Juitzila, Zacatecas, a few miles from the tequila valley just across the state border. Identical climate and weather conditions. Maestro Mezcalero Jaime Bañuelos smokes the blue agaves in a Horno de Tierra (roasting pit), then crushes them with a traditional tahona, ferments naturally with wild yeast, and distils in small copper pot stills. This method develops exceptional flavour profile: on the nose it's like a higher-ABV tequila, but with strong depth of smoke and earthiness. On the palate it has the full-mouth coating texture of traditional mezcal, but elegant notes usually associated with tequila.
