Salvación Tobala
Anonymous tobalá – the category's middle distance
Score: 3.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Salvacion Mezcal
- Region: Oaxaca
- Agave: Tobala
- ABV: 45%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
Salvacion's tobalá is a middle-tier bottle, proof adequate, agave legible, producer invisible. The category is crowded with better-told tobalás at similar money (Mal Bien, Bozal single-village, Banhez Tobalá). No consensus yet; our read 3.0.
Tobalá this anonymous is tobalá as commodity
Tasting notes
Nose: Honey, green melon, light stone, faint jasmine
Palate: 45% is adequate for tobalá but the lack of a named mezcalero shows, clean, standard, doing the textbook without adding to it
Finish: Floral, clean, medium
The bottom line
Pass. Banhez Tobalá is the same story with a person attached
