Koch El Mezcal works with maestros across Oaxaca's mezcal regions, bottling each village and agave separately; this is the Artesanal line — earthen-pit roasting, tahona crushing, wild fermentation in wood, and double distillation in copper — from Río de Ejutla, the river valley south of Oaxaca City where the wild karwinskii agaves grow tall and thin on dry hillsides. Tobasiche is a close cousin of cuixe and madrecuixe, a trunk-forming maguey that takes twelve to fifteen years to mature and yields little; pit-roasted, tahona-crushed, wild-fermented, and copper-distilled, bottled unaged; check your label for the maestro, lot, and ABV. Karwinskii agaves give a profile unlike espadín — drier, more mineral, more herbal, with a distinctive savory funk: expect a nose of wet clay, dried herbs, green olive, citrus peel, and a metallic-mineral edge over light smoke, opening into a lean, dry, layered palate with white pepper, cucumber, honeyed fruit, and a saline finish that runs long. Honest note: a connoisseur's wild agave, scarce and priced for it. Neat, in a copita, beside an espadín to taste what the agave changes. Tobasiche, from the river of Ejutla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Koch El Mezcal Artesanal Joven Maguey Tobasiche de Rio de Ejutla online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67288916558065,"sku":"edj1792718875706","price":45.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/4511\/3585\/files\/koch-el-mezcal-artesanal-joven-maguey-tobasiche-de-rio-de-ejutla_1.jpg?v=1792718881","url":"https:\/\/plissecladboutique.shop\/products\/koch-el-mezcal-artesanal-joven-maguey-tobasiche-de-rio-de-ejutla","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
