La Medida Tobal Chichicapam 750ml

Description

La Medida Tobal Chichicapam is an exceptional mezcal presented in a 750ml bottle produced in San Baltazar Chichicapam, Oaxaca, Mexico. With an alcohol content of 45% by volume, this mezcal is made exclusively from 100% Tobasiche, scientifically known as Agave karwinskii.

The Tobasiche agave hearts are meticulously cooked in an earthen oven to create this great mezcal, allowing them to develop their unique flavors. The cooked agave is then crushed using a tahona, a traditional stone mill, ensuring a careful extraction of the agave’s essence. The resulting mash is fermented in open vats, where natural yeasts work their magic, imparting distinct characteristics to the mezcal. Finally, the fermented mash is double-distilled in a copper pot, refining the flavors and creating a smooth, refined spirit.

Tobal agave is a wild variety that thrives in arid, shaded, high-altitude canyons. Known as the “Explorer Agave,” it has small, broad leaves and typically takes 8 to 12 years to reach maturity. Tobal is often revered as the “King of Agaves” in Mexico due to its exceptional qualities and esteemed reputation.

La Medida Tobal Chichicapam captures the essence of this revered agave variety, showcasing its distinctive flavors and characteristics. Every sip of this mezcal is a journey into the rugged canyons of Oaxaca, where Tobal flourishes and imparts its unique terroir to the spirit. Experience the regal elegance and complexity of La Medida Tobal Chichicapam, a mezcal that pays homage to the extraordinary heritage of the King of Agaves.
