This is one-half of an experimental pair of micro-batches from Gonzalo & family, created in collaboration with Skurnik Wines & Spirits. A single harvest of Tobalá was cooked, milled, and fermented, then divided into two distillations—one in clay, and one in copper—to explore the impact of Oaxaca’s most popular still types when all other variables are consistent. A first in the category! This batch represents the copper stills.
