The process follows artisanal methods, with a slow cooking of the piñas in ovens dug into the rock, which impart smoky and burnt earth aromas to the distillate. After a double distillation in copper stills, the result is a mezcal with an intense but balanced profile, characterized by smoky notes, hints of ripe fruit, and a mineral touch reminiscent of the volcanic rocks of the original terrain.
On tasting, the softness on the palate and a long persistence with a slightly spicy aftertaste are appreciated. Perfect as a meditative tasting or paired with traditional Mexican dishes such as smoked meat tacos or ceviche, the Mezcal Alberto Ortiz Tobalá represents an authentic sensory journey into the heart of Oaxaca’s mezcal culture.
