Koch El Mezcal Artesanal Tobasiche 750ml

Discover the distinctive character of Koch El Mezcal Artesanal Tobasiche 750ml, an artisanal mezcal handcrafted in Río de Ejutla, Oaxaca, Mexico by mezcalero Adrián Bautista. Produced under the renowned Koch El Mezcal label, this expression is made from 100% wild Tobasiche agave (Agave karwinskii), a variety that requires approximately 12 years to mature before harvest.

Traditional production methods include roasting the agave in an underground conical earthen oven, crushing with a tahona, fermenting naturally in wooden vats, and double distilling in copper pot stills. The result is a crystal-clear mezcal with remarkable complexity that showcases the unique characteristics of the Tobasiche agave.

The nose reveals pronounced mineral and herbal aromas reminiscent of wet earth, fresh herbs, ginger, and nutmeg, followed by bright citrus notes of kiwi and orange. On the palate, medium-bodied flavors unfold with fresh parsley, celery, white Moscato wine nuances, banana, peach, and bittersweet chocolate. The finish is dry, elegant, and lingering with earthy herbs, gentle spice, and refreshing minerality. Whether enjoyed neat or alongside fine cuisine, Koch Tobasiche offers a refined expression of traditional Oaxacan mezcal craftsmanship.
