Neta Tobalá and Coyote Mezcal
45.9% ABV
Experience the unique terroir of Miahuatlán with Tobalá + Coyote, a rare field blend of wild agave. Crafted by Eleazar García Vásquez in Logoche, this small-batch mezcal (just 38 liters!) embodies generations of tradition. Eleazar harvested only 20 piñas of Tobalá and 10 of Coyote from his wife's family land in San Luis Amatlán, where these closely related agaves thrive in the arid, limestone-rich soil. The Coyote agave here is particularly special, a natural hybrid resulting from the pollination work of bats, hummingbirds, and bees, blurring the lines between Agave karwinskii and the Tobalá hybrid complex.
Tasting notes:
- Aroma: Opens with a vibrant minerality reminiscent of the rocky, tierra blanca soil, intertwined with delicate floral notes and a subtle sweetness of cooked agave. Hints of smoke and earth add depth.
- Palate: The initial sip reveals a complex interplay of flavors. The earthy notes of the Tobalá are balanced by the bright, slightly fruity character of the Coyote. A distinct minerality persists, complemented by hints of citrus, spice, and a gentle smokiness. The mouthfeel is smooth and velvety.
- Finish: The finish is long and warming, with the minerality and subtle sweetness lingering. A gentle smokiness and a hint of spice remain, leaving a lasting impression of the unique terroir.
Eleazar's meticulous process, from the eight-day earthen pit roasting to the native yeast fermentation in a cypress wood tank, contributes to the complex and flavorful profile. At 45.9% ABV, this exclusive batch, selected for ATLA in New York City, reflects the land, practices, and gastronomic traditions of southeastern Miahuatlán.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
