Tasting Notes

Tobalá is among the smallest agave used to produce mezcal, sometimes demanding up to three harvested plants to make one liter of alcohol. For this expression, the plants were cooked in earthen ovens, milled using a traditional, stone tahona mill, fermented in wooden vats, and distilled using a traditional, clay pot still.

Fruit and umami meet on the nose, with distinct aromas of strawberry, sesame seed, candied orange, and the vaguest hint of a Cajun crab boil. The initial palate bursts with dry soil, thyme, coriander, and a touch of rosemary—an herbal explosion! Fennel seed and lemon zest swoop in to mellow the midpalate, and traces of fresh leather, pineapple skin, and candied strawberry make subtle appearances as the finish slides back into the dusty ground. This is as earthy and rugged as Tobalá comes. 48% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)
