Creador Tobala Descansado is made from maguey tobalá (Agave potatorum), that was harvested in Santa Ana Tlapacoyan, near maestro José Alberto’s pueblo San Bernardo Mixtepec, Oaxaca. The plants took 12-14 years to reach maturity. Originally from a production of 340 liters in 2019, 50 liters were set aside and rested (descansado) in glass for 4 years before being bottled and released for production. Resting in a neutral vessel such as glass allows the flavors and characteristics of the destilado to develop over time, resulting in round and very approachable agave spirits.
