Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, made from wild Tobalá agave (Agave potatorum), a rare variety, and bottled at 42% ABV. It pours a deep amber and leads with earth, like damp forest floor after rain, followed by tobacco and leather and softened by cocoa and vanilla. The palate keeps that rustic, grounded character. The finish lingers with wood and a savory umami note that makes you slow down between sips. It suits drinkers who already love mezcal and want to taste what a single agave variety brings to the glass. It is also a rewarding first Tobalá for anyone curious to explore beyond their usual pour. Serve it neat in a snifter, add a splash of water to open up the aromas, or let it anchor a Mezcal Old Fashioned. We carry it because it offers a clear, characterful expression of one agave, balancing gentle sweetness with savory depth in a way that rewards contemplative sipping.
