Mala Mia Tobala

Oaxaca

Mala Mia Tobala is a Joven mezcal from Oaxaca. Producer Saturnino Martínez Méndez crafts this spirit in Santiago Matatlán using Potatorum agave. The process involves milling with a tahona and distilling in copper stills to preserve character. Bottled at 44% ABV, this unaged expression highlights the raw profile of the agave species. The result is a clear liquid that reflects traditional methods without wood contact or aging. This approach maintains the integrity of the Potatorum variety throughout production and bottling.
