Mezcalosfera Tobasiche
Jorge Jarquin on tobaziche at 44.1%. Below the karwinskii floor
Score: 3.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Mezcalosfera de Mezcaloteca
- Maestro: Jorge Jarquin
- Region: Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
- Agave: Tobaziche
- ABV: 44.1%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
Jorge Jarquin's solo tobaziche is presented at a proof that doesn't quite serve the agave – the karwinskii family tends to reward the upper 40s, and this drops a few points below. Pour for maestro-survey purposes; reach for Memorable Tobasiche or the Mezcalosfera Emanuel Ramos tobaziche for the agave's full voice.
Tobaziche at 44.1% is tobaziche in loungewear
Tasting notes
Nose: Dry grass, green herb, faint stone fruit
Palate: 44.1% is below the proof karwinskii agaves typically ask for, and tobaziche in particular wants 46%+ to hold its architectural character – this one reads softened
Finish: Dry, fades – medium
The bottom line
A pass for Memorable Tobasiche or Mezcalosfera Ramos tobaziche
