Del Maguey Tobala Mezcal 750ml

Offers yet another mildly smoky way to gently enter the world of mezcal. Notes of roasted agave are softened by hints of citrus, white peach, and candied pine. The mezcal also contains a distinct minerality, thanks to the volcanic rock in the Puebla soil. Double copper pot distilled and bottled at an amiable 80 proof, Vida Puebla is ideal for sipping straight in a traditional copita.--Robb Report

This is a balanced and rightfully beloved mezcal, bright on the nose with citrus, white pepper, and a soothing note of freshly baked bread. Gently grainy on the palate, those bready notes quickly give way to more citrus, a gentle layer of baking spice, and an enveloping, sesame-sweet finish, with only the slightest hint of smoke along the way. Chichicapa is tough to put down, and stands as one of the top bottlings of the Del Maguey line.  A  DRINKHACKER.COM

This mezcal is stark and abrupt, spicy and savory. The nose is an array of fruit ranging from fresh peaches to grilled pineapples. It tastes of savory smoke, ash, baking spices, butterscotch and a bit of that grilled fruit that seduced us on the nose.
