Monte Coyote Mezcal Tobala is a rare wild-agave mezcal: 100% Tobalá, harvested by hand in the mountains of Oaxaca and distilled in small artisanal batches, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750mL bottle. Tobalá agave grows small, matures slowly and yields little spirit per plant — which is exactly why connoisseurs prize it: intensely floral, complex and unlike any cultivated-agave mezcal. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The King of Wild Agaves
Among mezcaleros, Tobalá is royalty — a small, shade-loving wild agave that takes over a decade to mature and produces a fraction of the spirit of a cultivated Espadín. Monte Coyote sources it from the rugged Oaxacan highlands, roasts it in earthen pits and distills it in copper, capturing a profile no farmed agave can replicate. Discover the Monte Coyote collection, explore mezcal, and compare more agave spirits at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Wildly aromatic — white flowers, tropical fruit and sweet herbs over a base of gentle smoke and mineral earth. Silky and layered on the palate with mango, chamomile and agave honey, finishing long and floral.
How to Enjoy
This is a sipping mezcal, full stop. Pour neat in a copita and take your time — Tobalá’s complexity rewards slow tasting. Save the cocktails for the Espadín.
