Baltazar Cruz Tobala Mezcal 700ml | 48.5% ABV

Baltazar Cruz gives this Tobala mezcal a clear maker identity as well as a specific agave focus. Tobala is prized by mezcal drinkers for its compact, expressive character, and this bottle sits naturally beside other single-agave Oaxaca releases.

Its appeal is not broad smoke or generic category familiarity, but the chance to taste Tobala in a focused, high-strength setting. Revisit the glass after a few minutes; the variety is often most interesting once the first impact settles.
