This is a bottling from Bozal made from the Tobala agave variant. Tobala takes 12-15 years and is a very small agave, which means it takes a large amount of them to make a batch. This offering was clay pot distilled.
Lot: 00219
ABV: 46.2%
Nose: Meat like dried and smoked pork, pepper, brine. Sweet, guava, mango, and some dark chocolate in there. A bit of earthiness comes through.
Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel. Dried and smoked meat, smoke, earthiness. Dark Chocolate, pineapple, mango, heavy brine, peppery.
Finish: Medium length. Dry. Meaty, Briney, light mango, peppery, earthy.
Rating: 8/10
This is vastly different from the other Tobala’s I have had. It way more balanced and leans heavily into this meaty and briney profile that I really dig. Lots of salt, earth, and meat with some light fruits sprinkled in make this a real winner in my book .
