Erstwhile - Tobala (2023 Ancestral Limited Edition) Mezcal

Crafted from 100% Tobalá agave, this delightful sipper – bursting with ripe tropical fruits and sweet caramel notes – is the ultimate crowd pleaser for mezcal connoisseurs and first-time drinkers alike.A legacy of the era when Mezcal production was illegal in Oaxaca, this batch of Tobalá crafted by Silverio García Luis – a 2023 Ancestral Limited Release – rescues a García family tradition that had been forgotten for almost fifty years.Don Lencho, Silverio’s father, used a hollowed out quiote (the flowering stalk of agave plants) instead of a copper turbante, to evade the military that would come and seize his distillation equipment by force.Now you too can partake in this unique mezcal tradition from the García family in Rancho Blanco Güilá, Oaxaca, available for the first time in the United States in partnership with Erstwhile Mezcal.
