Dixeebe Tobala Mezcal 375ml

Crafted in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico, Dixeebe Tobalá is an ultra-premium, artisanal mezcal created by legendary master mezcalero Valentín Cortés and his son Asis Cortés. Derived from the Zapotec expression of gratitude and respect, Dixeebe honors generations of Oaxacan tradition. Produced using 100% wild Tobalá agave (Agave potatorum) harvested from high-altitude rocky slopes after 12 to 15 years of maturity, the piñas are slow-cooked in traditional underground conical stone pit ovens fueled by oak wood. Crushed using a traditional horse-drawn stone tahona wheel and open-fermented in pine wood tubs with natural airborne yeasts, the liquid is double-distilled in small copper pot stills. This small-batch expression delivers a highly concentrated, floral, and complex profile with elegant wood smoke and mineral richness, presented in a distinctive 375ml bottle format.

Food Pairing: Pan-seared sea scallops, grilled lobster tail, Oaxacan mole blanco, fresh goat cheese crostini, artisanal dark chocolate with sea salt, or fresh fig tarts.

Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with luminous clarity, a silky medium-to-full body, and slow, coating tears.

Nose: Deeply aromatic and complex, opening with sweet cooked agave, crushed wildflowers, and ripe tropical fruit, backed by gentle pine smoke, light cinnamon, damp earth, and subtle mint.

Palate: Rich, velvety, and multi-layered on the palate, featuring caramelized agave nectar, papaya, and mango upfront before unfolding into soft mesquite smoke, white pepper, subtle herbal tea, and wet stone minerality.

Finish: Long, elegant, and warm with lingering notes of sweet tropical fruit, delicate wood smoke, floral spice, and a smooth, mineral earthiness.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a traditional clay copita or Glencairn glass to allow the complex, wild Tobalá aromas to fully open.
