Verdict
Derrumbes' Tamaulipas completes the project's state-coverage thesis – a mezcal from every producing state, each in its own regional dialect – and it's one of the more distinctive regional expressions in the range. 46-52% proof range across batches means the bottle varies, which is the main signal that the Tamaulipas project is less polished than the Oaxacan or Jalisco Derrumbes. Community consensus aligns. A category-education bottle.
The bottle that teaches you Tamaulipas exists
Tasting notes
Nose: Pine, dry earth, green melon, mineral damp
Palate: Unusually vegetal – the funkiana agave's character is its own thing, neither Oaxacan nor Jaliscan in register. The amole adds a northern dryness that completes the regional signature
Finish: Cooling, dry, with a slow pine fade
The bottom line
The completing bottle for a Derrumbes flight. Buy alongside the Oaxaca and Michoacán
