Koch El Mezcal Tobasiche Review
Produced from 12-year mature Tobasiche (a wild agave best known for slender, tree-like stalks), this mezcal is very bright in its initial aroma. There’s some minty notes, some fruitiness and nuttiness, a touch of sour apple Jolly Ranchers, Tobasiche’s signature woody/cedar-like hints, all leading toward a smooth finish. A well-balanced mezcal all-around.
