Doña Vega Tobala

Oaxaca

Doña Vega Tobala is a joven mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. This spirit uses the Potatorum agave and carries NOM-O496X. Milling in a tahona stone defines its initial texture. Copper distillation follows to refine the spirit’s character. Barbecued funk meets sweet bubble gum in the nose. These contrasting notes create a distinct aromatic profile. The 43% ABV supports this unique sensory balance. No aging processes alter its fresh, raw character. This combination stands apart from standard regional offerings. The label remains on hand for those who appreciate its unique character and complexity within the broader category of artisanal spirits.

About the Brand

Doña Vega Mezcal began as a passion project by founder Sonya Vega Auvray. After discovering mezcal, she became obsessed with the bold taste, but found that many versions were too smoky or intense. After traveling throughout Oaxaca she created Doña Vega Mezcal. Her creative blend honors the bold tradition and unique flavors of mezcal with a modern twist.
