Dixeebe Tobala
A tobalá that's more serious than flashy
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Dixeebe Mezcal
- Maestro: Valentin Cortes
- Region: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
- Agave: Tobala
- ABV: 49.4%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
This is the Dixeebe bottle that asks you to slow down. The tobalá isn't the most aromatically exuberant in the category, it's doing something quieter. The 3.7
Restrained wild-agave mezcal is harder to make than showy wild-agave mezcal
Tasting notes
Nose: Honey, green herb, pine, a late-arriving citrus
Palate: Weightier and drier than Del Maguey's tobalá, closer to Mezcalosfera territory than Amaras. 49.4% earns the glass
Finish: Long, dry, mineral
The bottom line
A thoughtful tobalá. Drink it with attention
