Sentir Tobala
A tobalá that does the minimum the agave requires
Score: 3.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Sentir Mezcal
- Region: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
- Agave: Tobala
- ABV: 46%
- Price: $60 ($$)
Verdict
Sentir's tobalá is correct without being convincing. The aromatics are there, the proof lands to the agave, but the liquid feels like it was made to a spec rather than a vision. Banhez Tobalá costs less and says more. Reach for that first.
Tobalá deserves more conviction than this
Tasting notes
Nose: Honey, wet stone, green melon, a whisper of citrus peel
Palate: 46% is the floor for tobalá and Sentir stays on it – floral sweetness, minerality, a short textural arc that doesn't quite reward the cost of the agave
Finish: Clean, faintly bitter – medium
The bottom line
Competent. Banhez Tobalá is the better value pour
