Ensamble
Our newest expression is a spectacular blend of Tobalá and Espadilla. On the nose, you'll encounter inviting notes of bright citrus, white flowers, and early springtime aromatics. A cultivar cousin of the ever-popular Espadin plant, Espadilla is native to Puebla and provides a more complex and fruit-forward backbone for our Ensamble.
The palate offers a rich yet approachable combination of papaya, white pepper, and pear skin which leads to the signature, lingering full-mouth feel that characterizes our Tobalá house style.
Roasted for 5-8 days in underground pits before a ten-day to two week fermentation. Double distilled.
Tobalá
This joven mezcal is un-aged and crystal clear. Made from 100% Tobalá agave grown in Puebla Mexico, you’ll find pronounced aromas of ripe fruit, bell pepper, honey, wet stone and smoldering campfire on the nose.
The palate is lively with rounded notes of cooked agave, caramelized pineapple and fresh herbs that give way to a subtle smoky-smooth finish and a full mouth-feel.
Roasted for 5-8 days in underground pits before a ten-day to two week fermentation. Double distilled.
TOBALÁ Penca
Brilliant amber in color, the nose unveils layers of complexity. Leading with young leather, caramel and spices, the complex aroma profile shows hints at white flowers and lemongrass.
On the palate, this special expression showcases an explosion of floral notes followed by toasted nuts and mellow smoky undertones. This unique Tobalá Penca expression leaves a wonderful lingering, full mouth-feel.
Roasted for 5-8 days in underground pits before a ten-day to two week fermentation. Double distilled before 1-3 month aging in glass vessels with agave penca leaf.
