Discover Fosforo Tobala Penca Mezcal:
Fosforo Tobala Penca Mezcal is a unique spirit that stands out in the world of mezcal. This artisanal drink is crafted from the Tobala agave, a wild species native to Oaxaca, Mexico. The Tobala agave is known for its small size and sweet, aromatic properties which contribute to the distinct flavor profile of this mezcal.
The production process of Fosforo Tobala Penca 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 to the final product. After roasting, they are crushed using a tahona (stone wheel), fermented naturally in wooden vats and then distilled in copper stills.
On tasting this mezcal, one can immediately identify its complex flavor profile. It opens with an earthy aroma layered with hints of tropical fruits like pineapple and banana. On the palate, it presents an intriguing blend of sweet and smoky notes accompanied by subtle hints of citrus and spice. The finish is long-lasting with a pleasant warmth that lingers on your tongue.
Despite its robust flavors, Fosforo Tobala Penca Mezcal maintains an elegant balance making it enjoyable both neat or as part of a cocktail mix. Its high-quality craftsmanship combined with its unique taste makes it not just another mezcal but rather an experience worth savoring.

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.
