Derrumbes San Luis Potosi

Derrumbes San Luis Potosi is made from the region’s wild agave Salmiana, giving it a unique, vibrant flavor not found in other mezcal.

About this mezcal

Derrumbes San Luis Potosi is an example of a very particular style of mezcal crafted in the high altitude Central Mexican Plateau, in the state of San Luis Potosí. This mezcal is made from the region’s wild agave Salmiana, giving it a unique, vibrant flavor. Certain bottles list agave Crassispina as the subspecies. Despite its abundance, this type of agave has a very low yield. The mezcalero needs up to four times as much of it to create an equal amount of spirit when compared to the blue agave used in the tequila region. Grown in calcareous soils, this mezcal terrifically showcases its terroir characteristics, with chalky notes very evident in the flavor profile. Produced in an old traditional hacienda, above ground ovens known as hornos are used to cook the agave which mean their mezcal is not smoky. Once cooked, the agave is crushed by a tahona, fermented naturally with wild yeast, twice-distilled in small copper pot stills, and bottled around 43% ABV.

Derrumbes Mezcal

From Oaxaca to Michoacan and beyond, Derrumbes bottles many varieties of mezcal that are made using different agave and production methods. They have spirits from different states in Mexico, and they bottle some very small producers that are not available elsewhere.

I always have a bottle of this on-hand as I have yet to encounter a more delicious 750ml bottle for the price point (~$40). Some batches are better than others, but usually in the 4 star range (.5 star added here for the value).

Funky, lactic, cheesy flavors mixed with a refreshing aloe syrup flavor. It is hard to describe. The good batches have a nice complex finish, the bad ones are a bit more thin and tend towards the more diluted side.

Holy jalapeños! Spicy, herbal, savory and zesty. If you’re a fan of the spicier mezcals, definitely give this one a go!

Lote 48, 357/1750, 44.6%

Not my favorite at first. Chile dominant but fades evenly. I like the chile touch normally so that’s not a knock. I just can’t place its oddness; I may have to find a way to fit it into a flight to get past it. Luckily, at $44.99 it did not break the bank. I will come back to it. Would probably give it a 2.5 except that it’s weird so I give it a 3 for effort.

Lot 54. This is one of my first mezcals. took me a while to get over the stench upon opening the bottle. I actually was dissapointed at first – it was too funky, rotten and intense. I had it with a bit of ice and that opened up the flavours so much. in the next days I started sipping it neat and everything mellowd down and I got really comfortable with it.
I’m not great with describing tastes and flavours but I can just say I ended up cherishing every last drop of this bottle. probably fell in love with mezcal 🙂

Lote 27, 11/19, Artesanal, 44.4%

Nose: green, raw green pepper, padron peppers, jalapenos, big bunches of spearmint and peppermint. Mild sweetness, drop of lemon juice and white pepper, a little barn/manure funk? This is really aromatic, not massively complex but very nice.

Palate: nice arrival, lovely perceptual sweetness, candied padron peppers, gently smoky, earthy. Very good full coating texture. A little cream cheese, more of that mint, remains pleasantly sweet, savoury, earthy, with a slight citric and mineral grip, going on quite long. Can take a drop of water but pretty much perfect at strength.

Comment: price on this is creeping up but at €38 this was a steal and it remains very good at a slightly higher price. Not super complex but a lot of character and very drinkable! Another winner from Derrumbes.

Well, this is my first taste of a mezcal from San Luis Potosi. After reading the prior reviews, I was a bit fearful as to what I was going to encounter. Luckily, my take is completely different. I liked it, and a lot. For a few minutes, I searched my tasting data banks to recall what it reminded me of . . . . (was it jalapeno peppers: no) (was it cheese, whether blue or ‘gorgonzola’ : no) instead this agave distillate reminded me most of gentiane (an alpine plant) liqueurs like Suze and Aveze! Very complex, with an earthy, chalky character, almost a caraway seed and licorice influence, but with a definite gentiane (also found in Chartreuse) quality. Very groovy! I am a fan!

Wow, what a burst of jalapeño and cheese — both on the nose and on the palate. Serrano-wrapped dates, pine needles without the bitterness, sourdough white bread on the finish. I seriously love this, if I catch a bottle at some point I’d love to elaborate on the tasting notes. The reflex you get is to quit whatever conversation you had, then sit down in a corner and just explore this mezcal in quiet contemplation.

LOT 45 Dec. 2020, seems an exclusive batch for La maison du whisky:
I got my bottle! It needs time to improve the smell, but flavours are just as fascinating as that unknown batch above. Jalapeños, green bell pepper, sautéed chayotes, a hint of Serrano ham, figues rather than dates. Less lactic than the previous batch, rather 3% fat yoghurt than cheese, and a bit more grassy aftertaste. More vegetal and herbal generally, but that could change over time after opening the bottle. It lacks a bit of structure and aftertaste for a full score, but what a fascinating mezcal it is. You could try to imagine an ensamble of tepeztate, arroqueno, funky raicilla and a savoury pechuga (less of that last note in batch 45).

Lote A35(200ML)
I feel like salmianas are a ‘love it or hate it’ agave. This one is delicious though, so guess I like them somewhat.
Strong smell & tastes of jalapeños & olive brine. Taste includes, but not limited to, honey, rotten fruit, bruised peaches, jalapeño poppers, and more. Complex and unique, and yet at least in my group, polarizing. I’ll probably upgrade this 200ml flask to a full bottle here soon. Great bottle to introduce to new mezcal curious friends, as it shows how crazy different and complex mezcal can be (as Rakhal also pointed out). More like 4.25

First off, the nose. Insane levels of jalapeño, freshly cut, focusing on the green flesh here. possibly something pickled. By something, we can only mean a jalapeño. Jalapeño in many forms I’d say.
The jalapeño doesn’t go anywhere when you start drinking. Maybe a bit of that bison grass vodka. a bit salty. As it sits in my cup, some hard aged cheese notes come out on the nose. the pickle idea turns to brine, and olives take center stage.
Comes out to a tune I don’t love, but give it some air and that one note goes on to add a few more. Definitely not sad to have a 750 of this

Lote: 38 (935/1750, 09/20)
Nose: Smells green and spicy – like chopping up jalapeños on a wood cutting board.

Palate: An initial lychee sweetness – subtle and lasts for a few seconds. Then an awesome fresh, fire-roasted jalapeño middle and finish (with a drop of honey).

This is a great, diverse bottle especially at the price point.

Bell peppers, clean wet rocks, but a bit of a strange vinegar/microbial funk in later bottles I’ve had. It’s a fine sipping spirit, but the $40 cost I’ve been paying in NYC means it’s not wasted in a cocktail, either. Plus a half star for the value and that pretty label. 😉

The smell is savory and funky. People aren’t kidding when they describe the nose of this as jalapenos and cheese. Palate is oily and vegetal, sweet, spicy and musty. I was overwhelmed by this originally, but it grew on me. The taste and nose rounded off a little bit after the bottle spent some time open. This is a complex and rewarding spirit, and for the price, it’s absolutely worth trying.

Lot 4, distilled September 2015. This is undoubtedly a good quality mezcal (evidenced by the many positive reviews), but it doesn’t do it for me. I find it rather astringent and dry without much in terms of complexity. Perhaps a less-than-perfect batch?

Nose: Jalepeno poppers. Review over. (Jalepenos stuffed with crème cheese, wrapped in bacon, and cooked / grilled). This is the tail end of the bottle I’ve owned, and now it’s a little more floral and nopales-driven. The peppers still take center stage, with a lactic funky sweetness playing so well in between. Black peppercorn and bacon notes for the charry-savory element, though this wasn’t cooked in a smoke-driven process. Some light pineapple gone sour, oregano, and white corn on the edges of the popper profile.

Palate: Gentle entry that’s floral, with a wonderful midpalate that’s more agave driven and simplistic and pleasantly sweet. The finish is where the mild pepper sweetness comes to play with the cream cheese and light fatty char. Texture is nice, flavor is full enough, and it drinks well for its proof. Finish is there, but doesn’t linger with any off notes or stay in a way that’s overbearing.

Thoughts: What a stunner. For character and value, this is one of the most amazing spirits you could find in any shop, for any category. It’s a cocktailing dream, too.

Be aware, I know there will be some batch variation, and this is one of the ones I’ve liked most. I’m curious about the proofing decisions.

This mezcal got an extra half star for how underpriced it is. A flavor this distinctive could easily sell for more.

Jalapeños and crisp citrus notes on the nose, reminds me of the pepper snap that comes along with tequila. Much of the same on the pallet with a sweet, honey suckle finish. Almost leaves a spicy aftertaste. At $35 a bottle, it’s definitely a great way to venture outside of espadin while not breaking the bank.

I do not recall batch and bottle, but it was very interesting and unique to say the least. About $55. Couldn’t really find anything appropriate enough to mix it with either.

Sweet first attack on tongue. Unique funky notes on nose translate well to the palate: pickled and seeded feta-stuffed jalapeno, in pickled radish brine, familiar agave white peppers and overcooked green beans giving way to a lime zest peppermint aftertaste. Really different for sure! Two too many left turns for my palate. Points for being one of the most unique tasting mezcals. Tasted it a year ago, but would give it another try seeing all these shining reviews.

It’s extremely approachable and floral. Almost minty in flavor with a vanilla finish that lingers. I’ll be buying this again for sure. My 3.5 star review is only a representation of taste.

The nose very “green” akin to jalapeno/poblano peppers with undertones of cheese…perhaps a touch of onions in there as well. Basically, it smells like jalapeno poppers in a glass. Taste is more of the same with a pepper spice kick. The green pepper flavors cling to your palate forever. Overall, a solid and distinctive mezcal that pushes a lot of great buttons and is an absolute bargain. I just wish that it had a higher ABV which I venture would bring out more depth which it lacks. I recently had a taste of a Mezonte Jalisco Raicilla that shared a lot of these flavors with tons of extra depth and complexity and blew my mind.

5th edition, bottle 92/1420

Opening the bottle fresh, I found the nose to be full of green peppers and blue cheese – maybe almost stinky tofu? for those who have been to taiwan – with some sourness, like very fermented sauerkraut. Also mint and white peppercorn, and some hints of sweet fruit, like lychee. After pouring and letting it open up a bit, the blue cheese retreats to the smell of cream cheese spread on cut green peppers.

The palate was much the same: white pepper, chalky and mineral, cheese. Sweet and a little pungent, like white sugar on jalapenos, but relatively smooth.

If you let the glass sit empty for a bit, the nose putrefies more to something closer to stinky tofu.

Probably not for everyone but I’m glad I bought it and like the nose and taste

Distinctive and quirky in both nose and pallet.

An initial peculiar smell of soft blue cheese and a ‘brewery like’ smell of mashed barley paired with sweet dried fruits.
A pulpy texture and everything you can smell is right there in taste along with that classic red peppered spice, followed by a warming bread & butter finish.

The smell of this mezcal is crazy. It’s like a new leather couch meets a cone of vanilla ice cream mixed with dates and raisons. It doesn’t taste like anything you’d get out of Oaxaca or really any other mezcal-producing state that I’ve tried. The taste is complex and foreign. It’s sweet, but almost musty with notes of dates and figs. This is a very unique mezcal, like nothing else out there.
