73 reviewsI’m gonna keep picking off new bottles from the Palenqueros series, because they’re priced well and never disappoint. Tobala-tobasiche is one of my favorite combinations of agave, with the characteristic rich vegetal and mineral flavors, and just a light essence of charcoal that doesn’t diminish the honeyed sweetness. I found this on sale for $79, and if I could find it again I might keep a few on hand.

641 reviewsReally good! An agave Tobala mezcal with a grassy/karwinskii finish. The smell brings you to Oaxaca. Proof seems much lower than 49%. Salt, cantaloupe, and dried agave. This is well-priced. Batch JHEN01.
