Montelobos Tobalá Joven Mezcal 750ml

The wild elegance of Tobalá agave in every sip

This young mezcal is produced in Puebla, at the Palenque del Tentzo (San Nicolás Huajuapan) by master mezcalero Aarón Alva under the supervision of botanist Iván Saldaña. It is made with 100?% sustainably grown Tobalá cenizo agave. The agave is cooked in an above-ground conical brick oven using oak firewood and tepeguaje; it is ground using a mechanical mill; fermented naturally in open pine wood vats; and distilled in a copper still over a direct wood fire. This artisanal process highlights the floral, herbal, and fruity complexity of Tobalá.
