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 is a traditional Mexican spirit made primarily from the agave plant, with EspadĂn being the most common variety used. This unique spirit is characterized by its distinct smoky flavor, which results from roasting agave hearts in earthen pits before distillation. Mezcal can be enjoyed in various forms: unaged (Joven), aged for at least two months (Reposado), or aged for a minimum of one year (Añejo), each offering different complexities and flavor profiles.
The aroma of mezcal often features earthy notes complemented by citrus, herbs, and sometimes floral or fruity undertones, creating a rich sensory experience. Its texture ranges from smooth to full-bodied depending on the aging process. Mezcal is versatile in cocktails, commonly used in drinks like the Mezcal Margarita and Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, but it is also appreciated neat or on the rocks to fully savor its intricate flavors.
