Gul-Roo Tobala
Tobalá at 43% – not the proof the agave wants
Score: 3.3/5 agaves
- Producer: Gul-Roo Mezcal
- Maestro: Gregorio Santiago Mendez
- Region: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
- Agave: Tobala
- ABV: 43%
- Price: $90 ($$)
Verdict
A tobalá one proof point shy of interesting. Gul-Roo's is competently made but underproofed – at 46% it'd sit with Banhez or Fósforo; at 43% it sits below both. Pass.

Tasting notes
Nose: Mild honey, then light floral, cooked agave
Palate: Gregorio Santiago Mendez has the skill; 43% is the ceiling. The tobalá's perfume is legible but undersold
Finish: Clean – medium
The bottom line
Pass. Underproofed tobalá
