Product details
Mr. Mezcal is the culmination of over three family generations devoted to crafting award‑winning mezcal. True to their philosophy, every step—planting agave, harvesting mature piñas, roasting, distillation, and bottling—is done entirely by hand. The Tobala varietal used in this expression, Agave potatorum, is unique: it does not produce pup shoots, grows only from seed, takes 12–17 years to mature, and remains a fraction of the size of the more common Espadín plant. This painstaking process and the rarity of Tobala make Mr. Mezcal Tobala a coveted spirit celebrated with prestigious awards—including Best Mezcal and Platinum at multiple international spirit competitions.
Mr. Mezcal Tobala offers a refined and intense sip: expect smooth, creamy textures layered with rich cocoa‑like chocolate, subtle fruit sweetness, warming spice, and smoky earthiness—a signature combination for Tobala mezcals. Tasters often describe notes such as dark chocolate and warm spices, sometimes with tropical fruit or mineral undertones characteristic of Tobala from limestone soils. Given its complex, smoky‑spicy character, it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts or rich mole sauces. It also stands up to robust red meats—think grilled steak, roasted lamb with smoky spices, or even tangy BBQ pork. For a lighter traditional snack, try orange slices with sal de gusano or artisan cheeses and chapulines to highlight and complement the spirit’s smoky sweetness.
