Dos Hombres Mezcal Artesanal Joven Tobala is a remarkable expression of artisanal mezcal, carefully crafted in the heart of San Luis del Rio, Oaxaca. This particular mezcal is crafted using the rare and cherished maguey Tobala (Agave Potatorum), known for its complexity and unique flavors. What sets Dos Hombres Tobala apart is not only its exceptional ingredients but also the traditional and time-honored methods used in its production.

The journey of Dos Hombres Tobala begins with the Tobala agave plants, which have been nurtured and cultivated for nearly a quarter of a century. This patient cultivation process allows the agave to develop rich and nuanced flavors, resulting in a mezcal of exceptional quality.

The traditional method of mezcal production is upheld with great respect in the creation of Dos Hombres Tobala. The agave hearts are slowly roasted in underground pit ovens, which infuses them with a distinct smokiness and earthiness. Milling of the cooked agave is done using a horse-drawn tahona, a method that imparts a unique texture and character to the mezcal.

The fermentation process takes place over 7-10 days, utilizing pure mountain spring water. This extended fermentation period allows the mezcal to develop its intricate flavors, drawing on the essence of the surrounding environment. The final step is a double distillation in traditional copper stills, further refining the spirit and preserving the essence of the agave.

The terroir of Dos Hombres Tobala is strongly influenced by the presence of Copal trees in the region. These sacred trees, known for their aromatic resin, impart their fragrant essence to the soil where the Tobala agaves thrive. The result is a mezcal that carries the essence of the land, reflecting the beauty and traditions of the region.
