Mezcalosfera Maguey Tobasiche
Emanuel Ramos's tobaziche at 52.52% – the karwinskii at full proof
Score: 4.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Mezcalosfera de Mezcaloteca
- Maestro: Emanuel Ramos
- Region: Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
- Agave: Tobaziche
- ABV: 52.52%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
Emanuel Ramos's solo tobaziche is a top-tier karwinskii bottle, the austere profile of the agave given room to be itself, at a proof that amplifies rather than distorts. This is the kind of release that argues for the Mezcalosfera catalog's existence. Hunt it alongside Memorable Tobasiche for a direct comparison of two top maestros on one agave.
Tobaziche at 52.52% is karwinskii as intended
Tasting notes
Nose: Wet stone, green herb, underripe peach, dry grass
Palate: 52.52% with tobaziche's tall, austere, mineral profile presented at the proof it asks for, dry, long, architectural, a bottle that rewards slow drinking
Finish: Austere, cooling. Very long
The bottom line
Worth chasing. Reference tobaziche at proof
