Rezpiral Sierra Negra y Tobalá – Abel Martinez

This mezcal showcases the character of two distinctive wild agave varieties. The mezcalero harvests mature Sierra Negra and Tobalá agaves from the hills of Oaxaca. He then roasts them in underground pits to develop natural sweetness and smoky depth. As a result, the mezcal expresses both power and elegance.

Unlike industrial spirits, this small-batch mezcal follows traditional artisanal methods. The producer crushes the cooked agave using classic techniques and ferments it naturally before distillation. Because of this hands-on process, the spirit retains authentic structure and complexity.

At first, the aroma reveals earthy smoke and roasted agave. Then herbal tones and subtle fruit notes appear. On the palate, Rezpiral Sierra Negra y Tobalá feels layered and balanced, while gentle minerality supports its smoky character. Finally, the finish remains long, warm and expressive.

For the best experience, serve at room temperature in a copita glass. In doing so, you allow the aromas to unfold fully. Sip slowly to appreciate the contrast between Sierra Negra’s strength and Tobalá’s refined floral notes.
