Derrumbes Durango Joven Mezcal

Joven · 750ML

Nose : Pepper-sprinkled strawberries, candied lime peel, bike-tire inner tubes, freshly rubbed mint and soy sauce. An alarming combination that works surprisingly well. Palate : Fresh and clean minty flavours kick things off, with chocolate notes following shortly after. Underneath everything is a layer of savoury umami: reduced soy sauce, buttered toast and grilled meat. Greener notes build on top: leafy and fresh. Sweet fruit builds, with sweet cooked agave joined by sharp granny smith apples. Finish : The mint fades to reveal strong mineral notes and a touch of sugary sweetness. Fruit and pepper remain.
