Mezcal Pierde Almas Tobaziche
Crafted from wild Tobaziche Agave, this release from Pierde Almas displays rich, vegetal agave notes backed by wood smoke, sweet anise and wild herbs. Light floral notes and a touch of wet earth appear on the long, balanced finish.
Mexican mezcal
This variant is made using 100 per cent wild Agave Tobaziche (Agave karwinskii) from the Valles Centrales - naturally fermentated in open pine vats and double distilled in copper pot stills.
Tasting: Crystal clear. Cedar wood, cedar smoke nose with plant sap and eucalyptus. The merest splash of water yields a slightly smoked, woody, vegetal, slightly salty palate with pear, sweet quince and aniseed. A salty, smoky finish - raises the question why no one has produced mezcal-flavoured crisps. 4.5/5
