Description

LOS VECINOS TOBAL MEZCAL

A Rare Treasure from the Heart of Oaxaca

Los Vecinos del Campo presents their limited-edition Tobal expression, a testament to the extraordinary craftsmanship of Oaxacan mezcaleros and the exceptional character of the rare Tobal agave (Agave potatorum).

Harvested from high-altitude mountain terrain where these small, wild agaves grow naturally among the rugged landscape, each Tobal pia represents years of patient nurturing by nature alone. This coveted agave variety’s scarcity and distinctive profile make this mezcal a true collector’s treasure.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Crystalline clarity with brilliant silver reflections and subtle viscosity that clings elegantly to the glass. Nose: Immediately captivating with delicate floral notes of orange blossom and jasmine, followed by sophisticated layers of vanilla bean, toasted almond, and fresh citrus zest. A gentle minerality weaves throughout, reminiscent of rain-washed stone.
• Palate: The first sip reveals remarkable complexity. Velvety tropical fruits dance across the tongueripe papaya and mango balanced by bright pink peppercorn and subtle clove. The characteristic Tobal sweetness emerges mid-palate with notes of caramelized agave, wildflower honey, and cacao nibs. The smoke element is refined and integrated, never overwhelming the agave’s natural elegance.
• Finish: Exceptionally long and evolving, this wine’s initial warmth gives way to lingering notes of dried apricot, roasted coffee bean, and a whisper of Oaxacan chocolate. The farewell presents a gentle minerality that cleanses the palate while inviting another contemplative sip.

Each bottle of Los Vecinos Tobal represents the passionate commitment of local mezcaleros who harvest and process these precious agaves using traditional methods passed down through generations. The pias are slow-roasted in earthen pits, crushed by a tahona wheel, naturally fermented in wooden vats, and carefully distilled in copper pot stills to preserve the agave’s complex character.

Los Vecinos del Campomeaning “neighbors of the field”honors the community of artisans who bring this remarkable spirit to life. Each numbered bottle is a celebration of Oaxacan terroir and tradition.
