Macurichos Mezcal Ancestral Tobala

Macurichos Mezcal Ancestral Tobala is a wild-varietal ancestral-method mezcal from Gonzalo Martinez in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca — one of only a handful of distillers still producing using ancestral methods including clay pot stills. Tobala (Agave potatorum) is a small, wild, high-altitude agave varietal prized for the delicate, refined, and mineral-driven mezcal it produces.The Ancestral classification is the most traditional production tier in the official mezcal categories, more restrictive than Artesanal in its requirements. Macurichos’ clay pot still distillation produces a distinctly textured Tobala, with mineral and floral character preserved without the influence of copper. Wild Tobala’s small plant size and slow maturation make this one of the more expensive single-varietal mezcal expressions.Specs
