Sombra Ensamble Mezcal Tepeztate & Tobala

Sombra Mezcal's new distillery was built in 2017 in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca, Mexico. It's an eco-friendly operation that produces artisanal small-batch mezcal. Every step of the process is geared toward sustainability, starting with 7 to 10-year-old organic agaves. After the harvest, these are roasted in underground stone pits using sustainably-harvested wood. They are then crushed in a traditional tahona mill which is solar-powered, instead of donkey-pulled. The juice is then left to ferment for 8 days in vats using wild yeast, after which the mash is distilled twice using copper-pot stills, using clean-burning natural gas instead of wood fire.

Tasting Notes

The rich profile opens with vegetal, citrus, honey, and pepper aromas on the nose. There is cake icing, tobacco, orange zest, and salted caramel on the palate and the finish is satisfyingly long.
