Derrumbes San Luis Potosi Review
Produced from wild agave unique to the high altitude Central Mexican Plateau, the resulting flavor profile of this mezcal is one of a kind. It’s green and extremely vegetal, almost cactus-like. It’s herbal and pickled, a bit chalky, but also sweet. Very interesting and surely not for everybody, but at this price it’s well worth an exploration.
