Tepanal 'Still Strength Tobala' Madurado Ancestral

Tepanal 'Still Strength Tobala' Madurado Ancestral is a deeply rooted agave spirit from Santa Maria Sola de Vega in Oaxaca. Crafted by mezcalero Rafael G. Garcia Aragon, this unique batch showcases the heritage and flavor complexity of Oaxaca's wild agaves. The ancestral method of hand-macerating agaves in wooden vats and double-distilling in clay pots highlights the labor-intensive process and dedication to preserving ancient mezcal-making traditions. 

The Tobala blend, made from various wild agave species including A. Potatorum, A. Nussaviorum, and A. Seemaniana, yields a complex spirit with pronounced earthy tones and layered tropical fruit notes. Subtle smokiness enhances these flavors, while a soft, creamy mouthfeel carries them through to a smooth, lingering finish. Bottled at 47.2% ABV, Tepanal 'Still Strength Tobala' offers a robust profile ideal for those who appreciate the depth of agave-forward spirits.

Produced in a limited batch of only 360 bottles, this 2021 release delivers an authentic expression of Oaxacan terroir, ideal for sipping neat to savor its complexity. For those seeking to experience the essence of ancestral mezcal in its purest form, Tepanal 'Still Strength Tobala' Madurado Ancestral stands as a refined choice for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
