Popol Vuh Blue Label Joven Tobala Mezcal (75cl, 42%)

Popol Vuh Blue Label Joven Tobala Mezcal is an unaged wild-agave mezcal made from 100% Tobala agave from Oaxaca, Mexico. The Tobala agave matures over roughly 15 years in the Oaxacan highlands and yields only a fraction of the spirit of a cultivated Espadin. It is distilled joven and charcoal-filtered in small batches by Comercializadora de Productos Suntuarios. The brand takes its name from the Popol Wuj, the 16th-century K'iche' Maya book of creation. The nose is impressive and charming, with the distinctive aromatic signature of Tobala agave; the palate is rich, complex and smooth, carrying lightly sweet, smoky notes; and the finish is of great elegance and length that lingers.
