Del Maguey Tobala

The Schtick: This is an older batch of Tobala from Del Maguey – the first batch of 2014. Discovered hiding out on a local shelf, I picked it up and am drinking it for you today. It’s made in the mountains, as we’re told, and double distilled. Let’s get to drinking.

Nose: Fresh orange, citrus, faint latex paint. Sweet honey, bright fruit and a bright roasted agave note.

Finish: Long finish. Bright and fruity, with the addition of some clay, slate and burning wood smoke. Almost a hickory note.

Overall: Overall, quite a nice Tobala. The complexity and combination of the fruits and the ashy component work well together, bringing plenty of flavor.
