This is an offering from Del Maguey, using Tobala. Tobala is a maguey found in high altitude areas, that combined with its small size makes this one of rarer agave types being used in Mezcal. Let us dive in and see how this release holds up

Rating: 7/10

This is a tasty, fruity, powerful mezcal, the nose on this is the best part, but the flavor and finish hold it up as well. This is one of the tastiest 90 proof spirits I have ever had.
