Mezcalosfera Tobalà

48% ABV

Made by Maestro Aniceto Garcia in Yegose, Miahuatlan, Oaxaca. The 15 to 18 year old agaves for this batch were pit roasted with mesquite and encino wood and crushed by hand with wooden mallets. The were fermented in sabino wood tanks with well water and ambient yeasts. The mash was distilled just once in a copper refrescadera still. The alcohol was adjusted with heads and tails with no water added. It comes from a tiny batch of just 100 liters.

A really lovely Tobala with some leathery/earthy notes, ripe fruit, and a buttery, textural quality on the palate.
