Score: 4.0/5 agaves

Verdict

Mezcasiarca's clay-pot tobaziche sits in the catalog alongside the bicuishe and garrotudo – a karwinskii presented through a technique that emphasizes the agave's mineral spine rather than its aromatic possibilities. Pour alongside Memorable or Mezcalosfera tobaziche for a technique flight. A rewarding release for the serious karwinskii drinker.

Tobaziche in clay is karwinskii as a long, slow monument

Tasting notes

Nose: Wet stone with green herb, mineral dust

Palate: ~50% with tobaziche's tall austere profile meeting the clay-pot's earthen accent – dry and architectural, with a geological weight the copper version doesn't carry

Finish: Austere, earthen. Long

The bottom line

Worth the hunt for karwinskii depth. Pairs with copper tobaziches for a flight
