Mezcal Vago Tobala by Emigdio Jarquin 750ml

Mezcal Vago Tobala by Emigdio Jarquin is a single-village mezcal from Oaxaca made from wild Tobala agave, a slow-growing, hard-to-harvest species prized for its aromatic intensity. The agave is roasted in a stone-lined earthen pit, crushed with a horse-drawn tahona, and distilled in copper stills. The nose leads with roasted agave and citrus, the palate carries smoke, mineral earth, and a touch of spice, and the finish stays long and savory. It's built for mezcal drinkers who want to taste the agave variety, not just the smoke.

How to drink Vago Tobala Mezcal

Sip it neat at room temperature in a small copita to let the Tobala's floral, mineral character come through -- save the salt and lime for tequila. If you want it in a cocktail, it holds its own in a mezcal negroni or an Oaxaca old fashioned.
