Fosforo Mezcal Tobala - Item Code: 07072
Discover Fosforo Mezcal Tobala:
Fosforo Mezcal Tobala is a unique spirit that stands out in the world of mezcal. It’s crafted from the Tobala agave, a wild species native to Mexico’s high-altitude regions. This particular agave variety is renowned for its small size and sweet, aromatic properties, which contribute to the distinct flavor profile of Fosforo Mezcal Tobala.
The production process of this mezcal involves traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The agave hearts are roasted in earthen pits lined with volcanic rocks, imparting a smoky character that is characteristic of mezcals. After roasting, they are crushed using a tahona (stone wheel), fermented naturally in wooden vats and then distilled in copper stills.
On the nose, Fosforo Mezcal Tobala presents an intriguing blend of earthy and fruity aromas. There’s an unmistakable hint of smoke intertwined with notes of ripe tropical fruits like pineapple and banana. On the palate, it reveals layers of complexity – sweet at first taste with flavors reminiscent of honey and vanilla followed by a subtle smokiness that lingers on the finish.
Despite its robust flavor profile, Fosforo Mezcal Tobala maintains an elegant balance between sweetness and smoke – neither overpowering each other but rather complementing each other beautifully. Its smooth texture makes it enjoyable neat or as part of sophisticated cocktails.

Mezcal Varieties
In Mexico, mezcal (also known as mezcal de agave) is a distilled alcoholic beverage derived from the agave plant, a slow-growing succulent that is native to Mexico and parts of Texas and is used to make mezcal. Mezcal was first produced in the 16th century by the conquistadors, who, as invading armies are wont to do in hostile territory, made getting drunk a top priority and experimented with distilling whiskey from whatever they could find in the area they were occupying.
The history of mezcal-making evolved over time to become an essential element of Mexican culture, but it wasn't until Prohibition drove thirsty American visitors to Mexico in pursuit of a legal buzz that mezcal became widely known to drinkers in the United States and around the world.
Mezcal can be prepared from any of the more than 30 different types of agave. Tobalá, tobaziche, tepeztate, arroqueo, and espadn are the most frequent agave varieties used for mezcal production. Espadn is the most prevalent agave variety and accounts for up to 90 percent of all mezcal production.
