Corte Vetusto Tobalá is twice-distilled, first in copper, then in clay, which is a unique production practice.
About this mezcal
Corte Vetusto Tobalá is handmade by fourth generation maestro mezcalero Juan Carlos Gonzalez Diaz using wild maguey tobala. This joven mezcal is distilled to proof at 42% ABV. This mezcal is crushed with a tahona and then naturally fermented. The first distillation in a 250 liter copper and the second distillation in a 70 liter clay pot still.
Corte Vetusto Mezcal
Corte Vetusto mezcal is hand-crafted by Juan Carlos Gonzalez Diaz, a 4th generation Zapotec Maestro Mezcalero. The art of mezcal making was passed down through the generations since his great grandfather, Don Mauro. The name of the brand Corte Vetusto means “the ancient cut” and comes from an old story about a master mezcalero’s desire to create a cut of mezcal so divine that it invokes the spirit of generations before him. That sacred distillation of earth, fire and history is the Corte Vetusto.

5 reviewsFloral / blossom on the nose with hints of tropical fruit. Mineral & slightly earthy flavour (earth after it just starts to rain) and smoke that’s like a camp fire from the night before. Definitely worth trying.

Flavors of black pepper and mint join the roast. Pleasant long finish … I did not expect to enjoy a mesquite based mezcal as much as I did. Enjoyed neat and worthy of your time.

717 reviewsThis is really tasty. Smoky and earthy. Notes of burnt orange, celery, and black pepper. Slightly buttery with a hint of copper. It’s a bit smokier than I prefer most of my mezcals, but this is definitely worth trying.
