Creyente Tobala

Oaxaca

Creyente Tobala is a mild, sweet mezcal blend from the Cuervo family. Agave Potatorum from Tlacolula, Oaxaca provides a super light profile with strong berry notes and slight vegetal hints on the nose. Producers Mijail Zarate and Pedro Mateo mill this spirit in a tahona before distilling it in copper stills under NOM-O220X. The palate is notably sweet with a touch of pepper, delivering an exceptionally smooth finish that some find too subtle. This bottle appeals to those seeking a gentle introduction, though its light character may fade upon extended sipping.
