The attack is frank to the palate, rounded, full-bodied. A complex assemblage of citric and spicy flavors.

Finish

An intense and smoky aftertaste reveals the sweetness of ripe agave.

All the traditions and heritage of Mexico live in our agave plants (Agave means "in Greek). Our Tobalá Agaves are carefully selected by our Maestro Mezcalero and harvested at 12 years of age, having reached optimum ripeness. Their hearts or piñas are slowly cooked in pre-Hispanic volcanic stone pits for 3 to 4 days, under the mantle of their leaves. The agave juice is traditionally extracted by scraping the cooked piñas with a stone pulled by a mule called a Tahona. It is then fermented in oak vats and distilled twice in copper stills.
