Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
The liquid possesses an impeccably clear, translucent quality, with a slightly viscous character—a testament to its purity and full-bodied nature.
Nose (Aroma):
The nose reveals an intoxicating tapestry of herbal undertones, such as fresh sage and thyme, complemented by a subtle hint of earthy loam and wet limestone. Floral notes of lavender and orange blossom emerge as secondary layers, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.
Palate (Taste):
At first sip, the Tobala agave's distinguished richness is immediately evident. It opens up with a mélange of vegetal and mineral flavors—imagine fresh-cut grass intertwined with a delicate stoniness. Mid-palate, the flavor evolves, giving way to more tropical fruit undertones like pineapple and guava, balanced with the warmth of white pepper and a slight smokiness that is both rustic and refined.
Finish:
The finish is exceptionally long and flavorful, with a gentle warmth that persists. It closes on a more savory note, with a dash of salinity and the lingering taste of fresh herbs and sweet agave nectar.
Mouthfeel:
Despite its complexity, Nacional Mezcal Tobala offers a remarkably smooth and velvety mouthfeel, likely a result of its artisanal production methods, which include traditional pit-roasting and natural fermentation.
Third Base Market & Spirits Perspective:
Nacional Mezcal Tobala is an extraordinarily refined expression of what artisanal mezcal can aspire to be. Its complexity and depth make it ideal for savoring neat in a copita or snifter to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors. Given its premium quality and limited availability, it is a treasure for the true mezcal or agave spirit connoisseur.
Availability:
Being a product of wild Tobala agave, which takes a long time to mature, this mezcal is produced in limited quantities. As such, it is highly sought after and we recommend securing a bottle while supplies last.
For those who value the intricate balance between tradition and innovation in the realm of fine spirits, Nacional Mezcal Tobala is a compelling experience not to be missed. It is, without a doubt, a sterling example of the artistry and passion that go into creating world-class mezcal. Available now at Third Base Market & Spirits, this is an exclusive opportunity to taste a true work of art in the mezcal world.
