Derrumbes Michoacán mezcal is made with two species of agave, cupreata and cenizo, which were cooked in an underground stone pit using black oak and then fermented in underground tanks lined with pine wood. Distillation then takes place in a unique, very old-school still. The body is made from wood and has a copper pot at the top of the trunk that condenses the alcohol vapours. After distillation, the mezcal is diluted to 49.3% ABV and is rested in large glass bottles before the final bottling.
