Del Maguey Tobala Mezcal 750ml (90 proof)

The Tobalá maguey is found growing naturally only in the highest altitude canyons in the shade of oak trees, like truffles, and it's so small it takes about eight piñas (agave hearts) to equal one piña from either of the more commonly propagated and cultivated Magueys. Our Tobalá is produced by Rogelio Martinez Cruz and was the first wild varietal mezcal available in the US when Ron Cooper introduced it in 1997. Rogelio's high-elevation pueblo of Santa Maria Albarradas is surrounded by a mountainous, tropical microclimate, on the way to the cloud forests up above. Rogelio's exceptional distillation of Tobalá includes a rare 30-day long roast, and makes for a mezcal with a sweet, fruity nose, palate of mango, cinnamon, and delicate florals, with a signature creaminess finishing long with minerality.
