| What Mezcal Tosba Warashis famous for its vibrant, “high-definition” flavor profile. The makers often describe it as”tutti frutti”because it is packed with intense tropical fruit and bright citrus notes that are rare in the mezcal world. The nose is explosive and savory. Youll findroasted tomatoes,red chilies, and a bright hit offinger lime. There is also a distinct floral quality, like wild mountain lilies. On the palate, it is incredibly juicy and complex. It features waves ofdried pineapple,ripe mango, andapricot. This fruitiness is balanced by savory, “BBQ-like” notesthinkgrilled pineappledusted with chili powder. t has adense, oily mouthfeelthat coats the tongue, making the 47%49% ABV feel smooth rather than sharp. The finish is long and evolving, moving from sweet tropical fruit to aclean, spicy mineralitywith a hint of smoked cheese. |

| Why While most mezcals use agaves that have been botanically classified (likeEspadnorTobal), theWarashagave (also calledHuarache) is an unclassified species endemic to the remote Sierra Norte mountains. Because it has no official botanical name (often listed simply asAgave), it is one of the few commercially available spirits made from a “mystery” plant. |
