Product information

Description

Koch Tobala is made with wild maguey Tobala. The maguey Tobala is very small, and a large amount of agave pinas are needed to make a single batch of mezcal. The Tobala is notably complex in taste and mouthfeel. Koch Tobala is harvested after 9 years of growth. It is made by Pedro Hernandez in San Baltazar. It is a subtle mezcal with floral tones and great herbal permanence on the palate.

Fundador of Koch El Mezcal Carlos Moreno's family has been linked to mezcal since the beginning of the 20th century. In 2009, Carlos resumed the family tradition and teamed up with 5th-generation maestro mezcalero Pedro Hernandez to create Koch El Mezcal de Oaxaca to preserve and promote mezcal culture. After 10 years of business, they've now integrated more than 15 communities and 50 producing families into their collective.
