Topanito Mezcal 100% Maguey Tobalá – An Exclusive and Fruity Mezcal from the Highlands of Oaxaca
Topanito Mezcal 100% Maguey Tobalá is a handcrafted mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, produced at the renowned distillery Amantes de lo Ajeno. It is part of Topanito’s “Wild Agave Series,” which celebrates rare and wild-growing agave varieties with unique flavor profiles.
The Tobalá agave grows wild at high altitudes and is known for its small size and low yield. It is harvested only after 12–15 years of maturation, resulting in an intensely aromatic and fruit-forward mezcal. Since Tobalá reproduces through seeds rather than shoots, sustainable cultivation is essential to preserve this rare species.
Tasting notes:
Aroma: Rich notes of ripe red berries, blueberries, cherries, fresh mint, coffee, and subtle smoke.
Palate: Fruity hints of blackberries and blackcurrants, balanced by smoke, tobacco, and dark chocolate.
With an alcohol content of 49%, this mezcal offers a powerful yet balanced flavor experience. It is best enjoyed neat to appreciate its complexity but also works beautifully in cocktails—such as a berry-accented Oaxaca Old Fashioned.
Topanito Mezcal 100% Maguey Tobalá is a superb choice for those seeking an authentic and exclusive mezcal with depth, character, and traditional craftsmanship.
