5 Sentidos Tobala - Eduardo Cortez Perez
Lalo's Miahuatlán tobalá – aromatic precision at proof that holds
Score: 4.5/5 agaves
- Producer: 5 Sentidos
- Maestro: Eduardo “Lalo” Perez Cortés
- Region: Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
- Agave: Tobala
- ABV: 48.2%
- Price: $152 ($$$$)
Verdict
One consensus rating doesn't do justice to a bottle this well-made. Lalo Pérez Cortés has been building his reputation through 5 Sentidos for several years and this is among his better single-agave releases. Compared with the Martinez or García tobalás, this reads slightly more fruit-forward and more warm, a useful third corner for anyone building a tobalá flight.
Miahuatlán's signature on tobalá is softer fruit and drier minerality
Tasting notes
Nose: Wildflower, then ripe pear, wet chalk, a faint citrus top
Palate: Miahuatlán tobalá runs slightly sweeter than Albarradas; at 48.2% Lalo delivers the aromatic range this agave wants with enough proof to extend it across the mid-palate
Finish: Mineral and floral. Long
The bottom line
Among Lalo's better single-agave releases. A top-tier Miahuatlán tobalá
Price check: $152 (2026-07-29).
