About Montelobos Tobalà Mezcal
Built on 5 centuries of tradition and craftsmanship, Montelobos Mezcal produces the famous smoky Mexican spirit using artisanal techniques. Montelobos Tobalà Mezcal is an unaged joven expression that starts with organic tobalá agaves that are free of pesticides and herbicides. Once the piñas (hearts) of the agaves are harvested, they are roasted in volcanic stone pits underground for 5 to 7 days. After the cooked piñas are cut and milled, the agave nectar ferments in open-air pine vats for 7 to 10 days. Finally, the liquid is double-distilled through copper stills. Bottled unaged at 96.3 proof, the mezcal features a complex taste profile with a balance of fresh citrus, green pepper, fruit, herbs, and dried fruit with a touch of spice and smoke. Recently, Montelobos Tobalà won a Gold Medal at the 2022 edition of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

About Montelobos Mezcal
Montelobos was founded in 2011 by Iván Saldaña, a molecular plant biologist and distiller who used to work with two mezcal-producing families in Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico. Partnered with Mezcalero Don Abel Lopez, they produce mezcal the artisanal way, abiding tradition and with sustainability in mind. They only use cultivated agaves that are grown organically, without any pesticides or herbicides. They also compost most of their waste and have improved the design of their palenque to minimize environmental impact.

About Mezcal
Mezcal is a distilled spirit made from roasted agave plants between two days and two weeks, which gives it a distinct smokey flavor.
What scotch is for whisk(e)y, mezcal is for tequila.
It can be made from different types of agave in different parts of Mexico, but most of it (60%) comes from the state of Oaxaca. Mezcal offers a large diversity of flavor profiles and ranges between 40 and 55% ABV.
