Tobalá is a small wild agave that takes 12 to 15 years to mature and produces only a fraction of the sugar of larger agaves, which is why it is often called the king of mezcals. The agaves are roasted, fermented and distilled in Fidencio's traditional process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis expression is exceptionally aromatic and flavourful, with notes of tropical fruit, wildflowers, fresh herbs and spice backed by the distinctive flavour of roasted agave. Smoke, mineral and pepper notes linger through the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rare wild-agave mezcal, it makes a fine gift for mezcal lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical fruit, wildflowers and fresh herbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spice and roasted agave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoke, mineral and pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enrique Jiménez, Fábrica de Amigo del Mezcal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal, Joven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild tobalá, 12-15 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96 proof (48% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e San Baltazar Guelavila and Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNOM:\u003c\/strong\u003e O15X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat from a copita.
