Maestro Mezcalero Manuel Antonio Cirino roasts the harvested piñas over dead-foraged oak in underground stone pits before double-distilling the fermented mash in copper alembic stills. Unlike industrially produced mezcals that rely on automated stainless-steel column stills or mixed-agave blending, this single-varietal expression relies strictly on airborne wild yeast and mineral-rich subterranean well water. The resulting 42% ABV spirit highlights the natural sugar density of fully matured mountain agave without post-distillation additives or wood aging. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \r\n\r\nThe opening bouquet pairs a light, clean wood smoke with fresh botanical greenery, ripe pear, and raw honey. On the palate, a gentle initial heat builds across the tongue, expanding into crushed stone mineral drive, herbal brightness, and a long, grassy finish. In-house testing at USQ underscores how gracefully this Tobalá functions when served neat in a traditional glass copita, though its herbal depth also stands up remarkably well in low-dilution cocktails. For a balanced, agave-forward serve, our team recommends a modified Oaxaca Old Fashioned: 1.5 oz Tobalá Joven, 0.5 oz Reposado Tequila, 1 barspoon raw agave nectar, and 2 dashes of aromatic bitters, stirred with cold ice and strained over a single large ice cube with an expressed orange peel. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n","brand":"Electrico Mezcal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48854398042302,"sku":"1-104890","price":84.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/1630\/6622\/files\/ElectricoTobalaBottle1080.jpg?v=1788814967"},{"product_id":"electrico-espadin-didstilled-with-lemongrass-mezcal-750ml","title":"Electrico - Espadin Didstilled with Lemongrass Mezcal 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteering clear of post-distillation flavor syrups or artificial extracts, Electrico Espadín Distilled with Lemongrass incorporates freshly harvested, estate-grown lemongrass directly into the copper alembic still during its second distillation. Third-generation Maestro Mezcalero Manuel Antonio Cirino cultivates the botanical along the riverbank in San Baltazar Guelavila, adding only the leaves to complement the natural sugars of eight-year-old Espadín agave. The underlying piñas undergo traditional underground pit roasting over dead-foraged local oak, followed by horse-drawn tahona crushing and open-air pine tub fermentation with wild airborne yeast. Distilled to 44% ABV using mineral-rich well water, the spirit integrates citrus aromatics into the agave's structural core rather than masking it. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \r\n\r\nBright lemon oils, cut grass, and fresh lime leaf define the nose, anchored by a gentle backdrop of sweet cooked agave and light wood smoke. On the palate, the physical weight is crisp yet coating, delivering a initial burst of citrus zest that dissolves into earthier notes of cracked pepper, mineral salt, and warm agave nectar. In-house tasting at USQ confirms that this botanical integration provides a built-in citrus component that excels in stirred or shaken serves. For an elevated take on a classic cocktail, our team recommends a Mezcal Mule: 2 oz Lemongrass Mezcal, ½ oz fresh lime juice, and 4 oz chilled ginger beer, built over crushed ice in a highball glass and garnished with a sprig of fresh mint. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n","brand":"Electrico Mezcal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48854398304446,"sku":"1-104891","price":103.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/1630\/6622\/files\/ElectricoLemongrassBottle1080.jpg?v=1788815494"},{"product_id":"electrico-espadin-joven-mezcal-750ml","title":"Electrico - Espadin Joven Mezcal 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e Cultivated for eight years on the high-altitude slopes of San Baltazar Guelavila, the Agave angustifolia (Espadín) piñas for Electrico Mezcal Espadín Joven are pit-roasted over slow-burning local oak logs, crushed via a horse-drawn stone tahona wheel, and fermented in open pine tubs with ambient wild yeast. Maestro Mezcalero Manuel Antonio Cirino relies strictly on subterranean well water from two local mineral aquifers, avoiding chemical accelerants, additives, or post-distillation adjustments. Unlike industrial mezcals or diffusers that rely on automated steam autoclaves and stainless steel column stills, this expression is double-distilled in traditional copper alembics over open wood fires to preserve the purity of the estate-grown agave. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \r\n\r\nThe palate carries a medium, oily weight that immediately coats the mouth with bright notes of white peach, green pepper, and roasted agave nectar before broadening into a stony, mineral-driven spine.
