El Mero Mero Tobala

El Mero Mero Tobalá

Made by maestra mezcalera Hidelberta Martínez Hipólito from Agave Potatorum in San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca. With very little rainfall, the agave here grows low to the ground to absorb as much water as possible. Tobalá is a very small wild maguey found in the mountains that takes more than 12 years to mature, so it takes a lot of plants to produce each batch of mezcal. Once harvested, the agave is tahona-crushed, fermented in Encino oak tubs for 3 to 5 days, and distilled in copper. Expect a light milk chocolate nose, sweet grassiness, and light smoke, with a slightly thick palate, no burn, and a round, pleasing finish.

Sip it neat to appreciate the sweetness and softness of this wild agave.
