Sacacuento Tobala

Tobalá at 48% – Sacacuento's serious bottle

Score: 4.0/5 agaves

Sacacuento Tobala bottle
  • Producer: Sacacuento Mezcal
  • Region: Santa Maria Tinu, Oaxaca
  • Agave: Tobala
  • ABV: 48%
  • Price: $70 ($$)

Verdict

The Sacacuento catalog tells you where the brand is serious: where it bottles at 40 (the core line) versus where it bottles at 48 (this tobalá). At 48% the craft is allowed to show. 4.5 consensus is slightly hot; we read it at 4.0 – credible wild-agave bottle, not a category leader.

Tasting notes

Nose: Wildflower honey, wet granite, green tea, faint jasmine

Palate: 48% is the right floor for tobalá and the bottle benefits, the agave's honey-stone structure reads cleanly, no flab, no overreach

Finish: Mineral, floral, long

The bottom line

Buy this one; skip the rest of the line
