Perro Verde Tobasiche is an artisanal Oaxacan mezcal made from wild Tobasiche agave, here in a 375ml half bottle. It is bottled at 42% ABV and produced in small, numbered batches with Tradición Chagoya, a family with more than 120 years of mezcal-making experience.
Perro Verde, Spanish for green dog, takes its name from the idea of something rarer than rare. The wild agave is roasted in earthen pit ovens, milled by hand with wooden mallets, fermented in wooden vats and distilled in copper and clay stills.
On the nose come smoke and spice with salty and tropical fruit notes, alongside lime, jasmine green tea and bamboo shoots. The palate is fruity and delicate with a charred, oily quality, water chestnut, lime and pepper, balancing traditional smoke with bright tropical and herbal notes, and a long finish.
The half-bottle size makes this award-winning mezcal an easy introduction to wild agave, and a thoughtful gift.
Sip it slowly from a copita to let its layers unfold.
Mezcal 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.
