Lopez Real Tobala

Oaxaca

Lopez Real Tobala is a joven mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. Antonio Hernandez Lopez produces this spirit under NOM-O639X using Potatorum agave. The distillation occurs in copper stills after tahona milling. Mint defines the nose and carries through to a minty flavor profile. Honeysuckle notes appear alongside a very soft texture on the palate. The 45% ABV supports the direct character of these raw botanical elements. This label offers a clear expression of its specific agave variety and region. The production methods preserve the raw botanical elements without heavy intervention or smoke dominance.
