Del Maguey Tobalá, produced in the mountains of Oaxaca by Rogelio Martinez Cruz, was the first wild varietal mezcal available in the US.
The Tobalá agave grows naturally in the highest altitude canyons in the shade of oak trees, like truffles. It’s so small it takes about eight piñas to equal one Espadín piña.
