Gracias a Dios Tobalá is an artisanal mezcal made from wild Tobalá agave, bottled at 45% ABV.
It is produced in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, under Maestro Mezcalero Oscar Hernández, from a family that has made mezcal for generations.
The wild agave grows 10 to 13 years in Zoquitlán, Oaxaca, before harvest, and the mezcal is double distilled.
Expect bell pepper and thyme balanced with sweet agave, a slightly tropical character and a hint of mint, over gentle smoke.
Tobalá is often called the king of agaves, and this bottling is an approachable way to discover it.
