Lot E2021012, 45% abv

Review #24: i agree with tyler on his “juicy” note, juicy and rich citrus fruits, sweet and slightly sour lemon, orange, and lime. Sweet earthiness, light florals, sweet roasted honey nuts, some smoke and an herbal backbone.

I really liked this one and it’s definitely one of the better sotols i have had. Decent complexity here and has that oomph for me.

Review #23: very pungent, tangy pineapple, pine, earthy, and jalapenos are dominant with moderate smoke, lemon, mineral and sweet and spicy herbs make their way after to the end.

This has a strong vegetal and earthy base to it with a bit of citrus and herbs mixed in. Very enjoyable

Review #22: airy and flowery especially on the nose. Taste has some bell pepper and soft jalapeno, more lime and peach cobbler, then on the finish is light milk chocolate, and reminiscent of brown butter cookies with a pinch of salt on them that my partner makes.

Really loving the evolution this takes from the nose to the palate, and i love when a mezcal has that pretty nose that reminds you of fresh flowery air.

Review #21: vanilla, honey, caramel, sweet cream, light pear, white chocolate, powdered sugar, and some light florals on the finish. This is somewhat basic and delicate but it does taste very nice. Above average overall but just doesn’t have a wide profile of flavors

Bottle number 078, 46% abv

Review #20: Bubble gum and strawberry right out of the glass. Tropical fruits, melon, peach, coconut, vanilla and honey on the mid palate. Light cinnamon and sweet herbs nearing the end. This is such a rich and well made “tequila”. Everything jumps out at you and is so cohesive. I hope to try more from them

Lot 202107, bottle 72/480, 52% abv

Review #19: Tons of fresh peach, apricot, fresh sweet thai basil, rosemary, toasted herbs, light milk chocolate, a little bell pepper, and earthiness. I really love the fruits on this one mixed in with the darker earthy notes. Great showcase of angustifolia here

Review #18: minerals, lime, and vanilla show up first, then a bit of bell pepper, coconut, and ashy smoke on the finish. I found it pretty thin overall considering the proof. The flavors are a bit lacking and light. It’s decent but nothing wowed me.

Review #17: Nose has lemongrass and quite herbal. Palate just smacks you in the face. Wow. So many flavors at once. This is 61.9% and isn’t even that hot. Very funky. Light lactic creamy notes, but as someone else ive read says, more jamaican like funk and i agree, it works so well with the all the fruit here. Strawberry, pineapple, red wine, melons, grape candy, lemon. A touch of milk chocolate. A variety of sweet herbs, like rosemary. A bit flowery as well. Light minerality and some sort of chemical note i get similar to the occidental. There’s no smoke on this. Very complex and there’s a lot there that is still difficult to pick out. Worth trying at least once

Lot 40CDIG11

Review #16: Hit of bubblegum from the start and packed with tons of fruits. Melons, strawberry, lemon oils, mango, and pineapple. Underneath it all is vegetal and floral with touch of cream. This is an awesome cenizo and really solidified how much I love a fruity expression from it.

Lot VC02MC01, edition 2, 2019 production date, 48% abv

Review #15: earthy, leather and some wood are the main focus with, a bit of lime, milk chocolate, baking spices. It’s got a lot of good flavor but a bit underwhelming and nothing in particular is sticking out. My least favorite of the 3 origen raiz I’ve tried

Lot CA07C08, 50.1% abv

Review #14: lots of imagery of rain. Petrichor, wet leaves, wet rocks, being in a forest, vegetal. Has this overall mustiness to it. Smell is reminiscent of being on a boat. It does turn sweet mid palate with fresh light fruits like apple. Then a smoked woody finish. This is very unique and while it’s not something I would normally reach for, it has something special with that rain smell that ties everything together

Lot E-18-TOB-21, 51.6% abv

Review #12: Very pretty nose and palate. Fresh apples and florals like youre in a garden. Some sweet and light vanilla frosting, then touches a bit of herbs and mild earthiness. Very clean and fresh. This is an excellent tobala

Lot E-10-MC-20, April 2020 production date, 50.5% abv

Review #12: Full of bitter dark chocolate and leather, there’s some minerality and earthiness, then mid palate there’s some vegetal jalapeños and a grassiness. Lots of strong and bold flavors on this that really pops

Didn’t get the batch number, 50.2% abv

Review #11: vegetal forward with green pepper and jalapeño, minerals and clay, then as it opens up some sweet corn and melon notes come out. It took some time for more flavors to come but it has decent complexity

Lote 14, 06/22 production date, bottle 1137/1500, 45.6% abv

Review #10: Leather, vanilla, caramel, sweet earth. It has a sweet fruit mid-palate like melons and strawberry, but finishes back to that earth. Very enjoyable and complex. Among my favorites from derrumbes

Lote 12, 02/22 production date, bottle 4961/5800, 46.4% abv

Review #9: sweet and bright, raspberry, lemon and lime juice, minerals, ashy smoke. A bit brash overall. It has a bit too much heat on it for the abv. Also a light mouthfeel. My least favorite among the derrumbes lineup

Lote 1, 05/21 production date, bottle 50/800, 49.1% abv

Review #8: quality milk chocolate, lightly funky, cream cheese, soft ripe melons. Very in line with Jonny and James’ reviews, it’s savory with a smooth fruit undertone. It is very well rounded and maybe my favorite from derrumbes.

Didn’t get the batch number on this one. 44.9% abv.

Review #7: this is very bright on the nose and palate. Sweet and delicate, fruits like raspberry and cherry, decent acidity overall and minerality on the finish. It’s pretty good but it’s lacking. Very thin mouthfeel and not strong on the flavors. If this was more flavorful it’d easily get another point.

Lot 37, 05/22 production date, bottle 184-350, 43.2% abv

Review #6: moderate creaminess. Big burst of orange, reminding me of an orange creamsicle, a bit of fruity berries, and there’s some bell peppers with cheese around it. Lots of flavor on this for the low abv. This tasted like a dessert pour for me. Im a big fan, and didn’t get blue cheese on this newer batch like others mentioned on older ones (although i do like blue cheese). This is top tier

Lot 39, 06/22 production date, bottle 131-480, 47.1% abv

Review #5: lots of wood and smoke on the nose and palate. Dry soil with a lot of herbs around it. I wasn’t a big fan of this one, might check it out another time. It was very drying on the palate and i didnt find a lot of complexity.
