Verde Mezcal

Verde (Agave salmiana var. crassispina, often) is San Luis Potosí's other major wild agave – distinct from salmiana proper but in the same biogeographic conversation. Sharper, more aromatic, vegetal-mineral with a register closer to a karwinskii ensamble than to anything Oaxacan. Derrumbes, Legendario Domingo, and a handful of smaller SLP labels set the standard. Bottles ask $50-$80 when produced seriously.
