Montelobos Mezcal Tobala Joven (75cl, 46.8%)

Montelobos Mezcal Tobala Joven is a 100% Tobalá joven mezcal at 46.8% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is made from sustainably cultivated Agave potatorum, with no herbicides or pesticides, and is kosher certified. Production takes place at Palenque del Tentzo in Puebla, Mexico, using a conical underground brick-pit oven, mechanical shredder milling, wild fermentation in open pine vats and copper-still distillation over direct firewood. The brand was founded by Iván Saldaña and Don Abel López Mateos. On the nose there are lemon, licorice, green pepper and pear over citrus and baking spice; the palate brings basil, roasted fig, macadamia and truffle.
