Mezcal Carreño Tobalá

Awarded Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020. Mezcal Carreño Tobalá comes from a smaller species of agave that grows in a compact rosette with wide, flat spatulate leaves up to one foot in length and edged with sharp, needle-like spines. Typically takes 10-15 years to reach maturity for harvest, and yields a sweeter, more delicate floral flavor. The Tobalá agaves are cooked together in an underground pit oven, milled by tahona, open-air fermented in pine vats, and double distilled in copper stills. This mezcal has hints of almond and chive with a floral nose. Mezcalero: Leonardo Hernandez Agave: Tobalá Age of Plant: 10-15 years
