Pierde Almas Mezcal
Erstwhile Tepeztate-Tobalá
Erstwhile Tepeztate-Tobalá is a 2017 ensamble mezcal from Lot 18-JHM-ENS. This bottle blends Tepeztate and Tobalá agaves to create a profile where the former remains prominent yet gentle. The spirit presents notes of raisins, sugar cane, and cinnamon on the nose. It offers a smooth smoky flavor that feels light on the palate. The 44% ABV reflects this lighter body structure. Produced in 2017, it stands as a distinct example of agave blending without heavy aggression or overwhelming intensity for the drinker.
