Corte Vetusto Tobala

Oaxaca

Corte Vetusto Tobala is a Joven mezcal made from wild agave and cooked with mesquite wood. The nose presents floral blossom notes alongside hints of tropical fruit and the distinct scent of roasted mesquite. Earthy and herbal flavors dominate, featuring black pepper, mint, burnt orange, celery, and a slight buttery texture with a hint of copper. Mineral undertones recall the scent of earth after rain, while campfire smoke lingers on a long, satisfying finish. This spirit offers a robust profile that is notably smoky and earthy.

Corte Vetusto Mezcal

About the Brand

Corte Vetusto mezcal is hand-crafted by Juan Carlos Gonzalez Diaz, a 4th generation Zapotec Maestro Mezcalero. The art of mezcal making was passed down through the generations since his great grandfather, Don Mauro. The name of the brand Corte Vetusto means “the ancient cut” and comes from an old story about a master mezcalero’s desire to create a cut of mezcal so divine that it invokes the spirit of generations before him. That sacred distillation of earth, fire and history is the Corte Vetusto.
