Memorable Tobasiche

Tobaziche in Bustamante's hands – the tall, austere karwinskii

Score: 4.5/5 agaves

Memorable Tobasiche bottle
  • Producer: Memorable Mezcal
  • Maestro: Jose Diaz Bustamante
  • Region: Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
  • Agave: Tobaziche
  • ABV: 45%
  • Price: $63 ($$)

Verdict

Memorable Tobaziche is the quieter cousin to Memorable Bicuishe, and rewards the drinker willing to slow down. José Diaz Bustamante presents the agave dry and unornamented, at a proof that respects the lean profile. This is benchmark-level karwinskii work, a bottle Real Minero would release and call it a highlight. Buy when found.

Tobaziche is karwinskii stripped to architecture. This version wears the blueprint proudly

Tasting notes

Nose: Green wood – then underripe peach, wet flint, mild smoke

Palate: 45% carries tobaziche's drier, more angular profile through the mid-palate, less fruit than bicuishe, more structure, a spine that rewards slow drinking

Finish: Austere, mineral, long

The bottom line

Worth the chase. Reference tobaziche
