Pierde Almas Mezcal
Catedral Tobala
Catedral Tobala is a Joven mezcal from Oaxaca. Rene Parada Barriga produces this spirit in Santiago Matatlán using Potatorum agave aged six to ten years. He mills the hearts in a tahona and distills them in copper stills under NOM-O70X. The result is an unaged spirit bottled at 46% ABV without wood contact. This clear expression captures the raw character of the specific agave species while maintaining structural integrity through traditional methods. The producer ensures each bottle reflects the unique terroir of the region and the distinct profile of the Potatorum variety.
