Pierde Almas Mezcal
Carreño Tobasiche
Carreño Tobasiche is a Joven mezcal from the Tobasiche region. It presents slightly sour aromas of old wet leaves and soft cheeses alongside sweet vanilla, asparagus, and mint. The palate offers perfumed notes of lavender, menthol, and anise with fresh hints of cilantro, olive, and green tea. This expression is notably more fruity than other dry woody Tobaziche mezcals in the lineup. While some find it a bit thin and light, the overall profile remains pleasant and distinct within the Carreño range.

About the Brand
Mezcal Carreño began in 1904 with Don Apolonio Carreño, with mezcal that was made from wild agaves that naturally grew on property. The same land was used to grow sugar cane and sold to the family of the largest rum producers in Mexico. Mezcal Carreño has planted over 30,000 agaves since 2017 and creates additional plots every year. The company supports multiple non-profits both in Oaxaca and Arizona in the US. With family both in Oaxaca and Arizona, Mezcal Carreño has been able to share its culture and passion on both sides of the border.
