Product Description

The "friendliest" of all OF FUEGO Y HUMO's offerings. Fuego Y Humo's wild tobalá is the perfect introduction for those familiar with tequila spirits, but curious to explore mezcal.

Tobalá (Agave potatorum)
Maturation: 10-15 Years
Sourced wild in the hills of Oaxaca
Rested for 1+ year before bottling

Slightly sweeter and creamier than the espadìn, this gentle but fun tobalá wins our "best personality" award with tasters thus far. According to one enthusiastic fan - "It’s like floating on a cloud in the tropics".

While carrying the distinctive sweet and woody characteristics one would expect from a tobalá, it boasts even stronger notes including sweet cream frosting throughout the smell and taste.

Dessert wine and red licorice on the nose with hints of vanilla, cinnamon and white chocolate on the palate. A woody finish. Soft and luscious mouthfeel throughout.

Easy sipping yet full of surprises; ABV: 47%

A Day in the Life of a Tobalá

Relatively small in comparison to most agaves (only ~2 feet in diameter), the tobalá is an oft sought after mezcal due to its distinctive sweet and woody taste. It is common throughout Oaxaca and Puebla and can be found in the most random of places - crags and sides of cliffs, as well as other less fertile and undesirable locations.

About Fuego y Humo

Fuego y Humo Mezcal is produced by 3rd generation maestro mezcalero Jose Manuel Mendez in San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca. José’s father, and both sets of grandfathers, were mezcaleros. From these generations, the trades and tricks of mezcal production have been passed down and not much of the actual process has changed. José still proudly produces mezcal the way his father taught him and his father before that. His father (Manuel) still helps José from time to time, although he is officially “retired”.
