Description

Maestro mezcalero Gonzalo Hernandez Bigotes makes Banhez Tobala from the small, scarce tobala agave. The plant and the maker share the focus here. Tobala's complexity gives the mezcal its aromatic character, while Bigotes' work brings those qualities into the glass. It is a bottle to approach through the agave and the person working with it.

Intense aromatics lead into green mango, fresh green herbs, and a subtle leather note. The mango supplies the tropical fruit character. Herbs bring a green counterpoint, while leather adds a quieter layer of depth. A smooth palate holds these distinct elements together, giving you several details to follow as you sip.

Use a snifter and give the mezcal a little time to breathe. Try it slightly chilled, or add a twist of citrus.
