Mezcal Derrumbes Tamaulipas

Venture into one of Mexico’s most elusive and underexplored mezcal-producing regions with Mezcal Derrumbes Tamaulipas. Crafted in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, this artisanal joven mezcal is an extraordinary blend of three wild agave varieties—Americana, Funkiana, and Univittata—making it one of the most rare and complex expressions in the Derrumbes lineup.

These agaves are roasted in underground pits, naturally fermented, and distilled in small clay stills, resulting in a mezcal that is both earthy and exotic, with a truly wild, expressive flavor profile. Due to the region’s low mezcal output and challenging terrain, Tamaulipas mezcal is highly limited and rarely seen outside Mexico, making this a treasured find for collectors and agave purists.
