Erstwhile Tobalá 2023 Ancestral Limited Edition, a mezcal with history in every drop. This rare ancestral release revives a nearly lost tradition from the García family in Oaxaca, once hidden from the authorities during a time when mezcal production was outlawed. Crafted by Silverio García Luis and Epifania Gómez Mejía, this batch pays tribute to Silverio’s father, Don Lencho, who ingeniously used a hollowed-out quiote in place of copper distillation equipment to evade government raids.
Distilled from 100% wild Tobalá agave, this mezcal is a beautiful balance of ripe tropical fruit, sweet caramel, and earthy depth. Its smooth, rich profile makes it a favorite for both seasoned mezcal drinkers and newcomers exploring the category. Every sip tells a story of resilience, craftsmanship, and a dedication to preserving Oaxaca’s mezcal heritage.
For the first time, this piece of mezcal history is available in the United States. With a limited supply, this is your chance to experience a spirit that once existed in the shadows but now shines on the global stage. Will you be one of the few to taste it?
