The ImpEx Collection: Tobala Capón by Victor Ramos
Single-Distilled | Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
A remarkable expression showcasing the profound impact of traditional agave cultivation techniques, this Tobala Capón mezcal represents the masterful craftsmanship of Victor Ramos. Distinguished by its unique production method, this mezcal is crafted from carefully "castrated" Tobala agave. In this process, the quiote (flowering stem) is removed during maturation, concentrating sugars within the heart of the plant.
PRODUCTION METHOD
- Single distillation in copper refrescadera still
- Crafted from carefully managed Tobalá agave
- Traditional quiote removal technique for enhanced flavor concentration
- Produced in the renowned mezcal region of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
TASTING NOTES
- Nose: Complex aromatics of fresh citrus, lime oil, and olive oil, complemented by smoked pineapple and subtle pine notes
- Palate: Distinctive profile of mesquite and lime, with pronounced eucalyptus and cedar plank characteristics. Unique green nut elements and herbaceous notes reminiscent of karwinskii varieties
- Finish: Aromatic flourish of sage and potpourri, balanced by bitter grapefruit and warming ginger

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.
