Siete Misterios Mezcal Espadín Tobala is an artisanal ensamble crafted in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca, blending Espadín (Agave angustifolia) and wild Tobalá (Agave potatorum) agaves. Tobalá, known as the "king of agaves," is a small, wild variety that grows in rocky, high-altitude areas, contributing to its unique flavor profile. The mezcal is produced using traditional methods: roasting agave in earthen pits, hand-milling, natural fermentation, and double distillation in copper pot stills. This process results in a mezcal bottled at 45% ABV, offering a harmonious balance of flavors.
