Derrumbes Tamaulipas El Gavilan Mezcal Artesanal Joven 92.2 Proof 750ml
Derrumbes Tampaulipas is made using a combination of three rare varieties of agave – Americana, Funkiana and Univittata – two of which are only found in the state of Tampaulipas. It is a sweet, rich and dry spirit, with a lightly smoky flavour mingling with the floral agave notes. Producer Description.
This majestic ensemble comes from one of the appellation's most undiscovered territories. It is also worth cherishing as it represents a rare opportunity to explore an area with complex violence problems, makingit hard to visit.
Maestro mezcalero Cuauhtémoc Jaquez delivers a stunning ensemble with a blend of 3 different agaves: Tamaulipas endemic Funkiana and Univittata, together with Americana.
The result is a high-energy spirit that feels sweet, dry, and rich with multiple layers of flavor and aroma.
- The aroma has interesting floral notes, bubblegum, rubber sap, and a yard waste bin with wood chips, eucalyptus, and dandelions.
- The mezcal has a range of flavors on the palate, including big league chew, peach pit, nopal cactus, pencil eraser, tobacco/cigar, and ashtray.
- The lack of heat for the alcohol by volume is interesting, and the lingering finish could indicate a mezcal with some staying power.
