TOBALA SILVESTRE 2019

This artesanal Mezcal was distilled in 2019 using hard to find, wild Tobalá.

 

Crafted by Third Generation Master Mezcalero Erasto Martinez and his team, the wild-harvested Tobalá used here is sourced from the Highlands at an elevation averaging around 5000 feet. Carta de Amor Tobalá Silvestre 2019 is crafted in the traditional method at his palenque in Tlacolula de Matamoros, Oaxaca. The team used earthen pit ovens using oak for cooking the agaves, open air pinewood fermentation vats, and a copper still. The mezcal has been rested for over two years before being bottled lovingly by hand.

​

We found this batch to be aromatically herbaceous, notes of raw honey, pears, with a piney finish.  Enjoy this extremely limited batch of only 798 bottles, you may never see it again.
