Casa Don Lorenzo Tobalá is an artisanal joven mezcal made from 100% Agave potatorum, the wild tobalá agave, in Oaxaca, bottled at 49% ABV.
Don Lorenzo mezcals are made in Santiago Matatlán, where agaves are cooked in a pit oven, milled by tahona, fermented with open-air yeasts and double distilled in copper alembic stills.
Tobalá is a small, wild agave prized for a fruity, floral character.
Its clear bottle with a black agave silhouette and handwritten-style label is simple and classic.
Casa Don Lorenzo is known for its rarer wild-agave expressions alongside its espadín, and the tobalá is one of its most sought-after bottles, a fine choice for exploring wild agaves.
