Creyente Tobala Mezcal

Creyente Tobala Mezcal blends Creyente's signature dual-region Espadín agave from Tlacolula and Yautepec with wild Tobala agave — one of the most prized and complex agave varieties in Oaxacan mezcal production, growing wild at high mountain altitude for 12–25 years and producing the floral, fruity, and mineral character that Tobala uniquely contributes to the familiar Espadín smoke base.

Despite the product name, Creyente Tobala actually uses 100% Espadín agave sourced from the two distinct regions — Tlacolula and Yautepec — reflecting the brand's dual-region blending philosophy. The expression's complexity comes from the contrasting terroir characters of the two growing regions rather than multiple agave varieties. Smoky, earthy, and complex from the mountain Yautepec character with the richness of valley Tlacolula providing balance. Browse all Creyente at Wooden Cork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Creyente Tobala actually contain Tobala agave?

The Creyente Tobala expression is crafted from 100% Espadín agave sourced from two distinct Oaxacan regions — Tlacolula and Yautepec — following Creyente's dual-region blending philosophy. The complexity comes from the contrasting terroir of the two growing regions. For mezcals made entirely from Tobala agave, look for single-agave Tobala expressions from other producers.
