The Derrumbes Tamaulipas line of mezcal was created to showcase the flavors and production styles of each region in the mezcal DO. Derrumbes Tamaulipas Mezcal uses two of the agave varietals known as Amole (Agave Funkiana and Agave Univittata), 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.
