Tasting Notes

A triple-distilled mezcal using a combination of fruits that include wild pineapple, blackberries, bananas, wild apples, plums, cinnamon and occasionally rice—plus a raw turkey breast. These ingredients are placed in a cotton net suspended by strings in the still, yielding a dense and delicious mezcal. Tosba offers one of the most expressive Pechuga in the export market, with tons of fruit & umami character, including robust nose of almonds, baked apple, grilled pineapple, basil, chocolate. The flavors are persistent and hang throughout the rich mouthfeel and long finish. 48.1% ABV (ABV varies batch to batch).
