Description
- Distilled from 100% Espadín (Agave angustifolia)
- Cooked in a conical earthen pit
- Milled using a traditional stone tahona
- Fermented in open-air wooden vats
- Distilled twice using traditional wood-fired copper pot stills
- 48.5% ABV (ABV varies batch to batch)
Lighter bodied and more acidic than most Espadín, this is a unique and tropical example of the category. Excellent on its own, as an education in the impact of terroir, and especially delightful in stirred cocktails such as a Mezcal Negroni!
Questions about Tosba Espadin Mezcal
- What is Tosba Espadín Mezcal?
- Tosba Espadín is an artisanal mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, distilled from espadín agave. Expect roasted-agave character with smoke, earth and herbal notes rather than the clean profile of a blanco tequila.
- How should I drink Tosba Espadín Mezcal?
- Tosba Espadín is well suited to sipping neat from a small glass, with orange slices and sal de gusano if you like. Its smoky Oaxacan agave flavor also stands up well in a Mezcal Negroni or a margarita variation.
- Is Tosba Espadín Mezcal the same as tequila?
- No. Tosba is mezcal made in Oaxaca from espadín agave, while tequila must be made from blue Weber agave in its defined Mexican production regions. Mezcal commonly shows a roasted, smoky note from cooking the agave in earthen pits.
