Sacacuento Tobala
Tobalá at 48% – Sacacuento's serious bottle
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- 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
