Producer Description

El Mero Mero Tobala has fruit on the nose with notes of grapefruit and buttermilk on the palate. They are cultivating Tobala to increase sustainability. El Mero Mero Tobala is made with maguey Tobala that is crushed by tahona, fermented in Encino Oak tubs, and distilled in copper.

The arid region of San Dionisio Ocotopec, where this mezcal is made, is known for producing agave with high sugar content, which can come through in the flavor and complexity of the mezcal.

The limestone-rich soil of this region can be harsh on the maguey Tobala, which take 12-15 years to reach maturity in this area. Due to the long maturation times, only small batches of 150-200 bottles of Tobala can be made at once.

Producer Description 

This mezcal is crafted in the rich, fertile Miahuatlán valley, remotely located a 2.5 hours’ drive south of Oaxaca City at 4,970 ft elevation. 

The genetic “mother” of Tequila’s Blue Weber agave, Espadín typically takes 7 – 12 years to mature & is the most prolific species used in mezcal. Terroir and the maker’s hand mean that Espadín styles vary greatly. Vago Espadín by the very modest Emigdio Jarquín was awarded Double Gold & the coveted “Best Mezcal” at the 2019 SFWSC and “Best Mezcal in the World” in the 2020 World Tequila and Mezcal Awards. Emigdio’s Espadín has delicious concentrated agave flavors balanced by smokiness and a spicy/saline minerality loved by critics and consumers alike.

A wonderful expression of a saline and mineral-driven style that has become one of the most highly awarded mezcals in history.
