About this bottle

Tobaziche is one of the most easily identified subspecies of agave due to their unusual elongated piñas. They more closely resemble a palm tree than what is typically thought of when agave plants are discussed. Wild tobaziche agaves take roughly 12 years to mature and easily grow to over 8 feet. Master Mescalero Adrián Bautista produced this mezcal in Rio de Ejutla, Oaxaca using traditional methods.

First taste. I’m going to benchmark this against the del maguey expression from this agave type as my next dram, but this is one dimensional minerality like the Tepextate expression from this distillery. I think my initial love affair with Koch was just a passing fancy now that I’ve tried better stuff. Yeah. Just tasted the del maguey again, which is far superior. More complex, balancing minerality with fruit notes, more viscous. Fuck Koch.
