229 reviewsBatch IJ.04.21.TB. Big aromas of fresh oranges. This is a citrusy tobala, vegetal as well with a peppery finish. Absolutely worth trying for a different perspective on tobala.

643 reviewsTobala never seems to produce signature flavors meaning every Tobala mezcal might go in a different direction flavor-wise. This one is incredibly vegetal and quite unique. Drinks a bit soft, no alcohol bite even on the finish. Grey label. Batch IJ.04.21.TB, 100 liters.

Review #37: very spicy florals reminiscent of some gin. Lavender, juniper, jalapeno, green pepper, light sweetness that i couldn’t pick apart.
The gin note threw me off but it doesn’t actually taste like gin, just a similar blend of a bunch of florals and spices. This is unlike most other tobalas that I’ve had. Still somewhat floral, but very vegetal overall. Definitely a unique and very delicious mezcal.
