Tosba Tobala Mezcal is made in the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca. Made from a mix of wild harvested and cultivated agave, notable, the cultivated agaves are consistently larger than the wild ones. Tosba has nurseries of this beloved variety to replenish the wild supply and ensure a balanced approach to making this mezcal. Agaves are cooked in an in-ground pit using river rocks and driftwood. Agaves are crushed using a tahona and open air fermented with local spring water and wild yeasts in wooden tanks. After fermentation it is double distilled in small copper pot stills. As part of the overall sustainable practice and respect for the Earth, this expression is limited and seasonal.
