Del Maguey Tobala Single Village Mezcal 750mL 45% ABV
Tobala’s form is different than the maguey Espadin (sword) or maguey Azul (blue) agave varities - It's smaller and has broader leafs. It takes about eight Tobala piñas (agave hearts) to equal one piña from either of the more commonly propagated and cultivated Magueys. The tobala is grown at elevation of around 2500m, with a mountainous, tropical microclimate. Del Maguey keep their production limited, to continue with the traditional ways - Always being very careful to never over harvest the Tobala. Del Maguey Tobala Single Village Mezcal is exceptionally aromatic and flavourful, and displays notes of mango, papaya, grilled pineapple, cinnamon, pepper, mineral, and smoke. Only 600 bottles of this world-beating Mezcal were produced, so grab a bottle of Mexico's best while you can. Each bottle of Del Maguey Tobala Single Village Mezcal comes with it's own unique handwoven palm fibre basket. The women of Oaxaca have been weaving these baskets for thousands of years.
