Los Danzantes Joven Tobalá Mezcal 750ml

Los Danzantes Joven Tobalá Mezcal 750ml is an artisanal mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, made entirely from wild Tobalá (Agave potatorum) and bottled at 48% ABV / 96 proof. Maestra mezcalera Karina Abad Rojas roasts the agave with white oak and mesquite in a conical underground pit oven. The cooked agave is milled by a horse-drawn stone, naturally fermented with native yeasts in wooden vats, and distilled twice in a 250-liter copper still.

The producer describes fresh aromas of quince and cooked agave, followed by light citrus, green herbs, cocoa, minerals, and a measured smoky presence. The exact 750ml bottle is labeled Joven and Tobalá, matching the supplier's active 96-proof item and the current producer specification. This unaged expression keeps the focus on the small wild agave and the traditional cooking, fermentation, and copper-distillation process. Serve it neat in a copita to follow the progression from cooked agave and bittersweet fruit toward herbs, citrus, minerals, and smoke.
