Tobalá, is a tiny agave that possesses a bold and vibrant character. With high levels of saponins and terpenes they produce very complex mezcals. This agave is harvested at 12 to 15 years and requires extra care as the raw agave can irritate even the most seasoned skin. Handcrafted by Enrique, these mezcals often exhibit intense aromatics with bright fruit and minerals.
