Mezcal Tobala

• Mezcal produced in Candelaria Yegolé, Zoquitlán, Oaxaca
• Maestro Mezcalero Vicente Sánchez Parada
• Distilled from 100% Tobalá (Agave potatorum)
• Agave cooked in a conical earthen pit
• Milled using a traditional stone tahona
• Fermented in open-air wooden vats (tinas)
• Distilled twice using traditional wood-fired copper pot stills
• Plush with salty notes of grilled pineapple, strawberries, and lime zest
• 48.4% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

Not often featured in the Rey Campero lineup, this is a special release of the highly coveted Tobalá agave variety. Growing in the shade at high elevation, the small size and low sugar content of Tobalá make it a difficult variety with which to achieve a notable yield. Enjoy this juicy expression when you can!
