Erstwhile Mezcal Tobala (750 ml)

Tobalá is the Yoda of all agaves.  It is small and cute, but fierce and wise.

Tobalá is a small broad-leafed agave that grows best in rocky craggy soil at high altitude. It takes about 12-18 years to mature, depending on climate, terroir, and other factors.

Perhaps due to the high altitudes where it flourishes, Tobalá typically yields a highly approachable yet sweet, mellow, floral mezcal with round mouth feel.  Tobalá can be cultivated and has been cultivated with some success.  Nonetheless, partially due to the long time it takes to mature, most Tobalá mezcals in the market today are prepared from wild agaves.
