This over-proof Tobala is bottled at just over 50% and gives notes of smoky chilies, burnt marshmallows that fell on the ground and off-brand sharpies. The slight heat from the alcohol says to be cautious of pairing with spicy foods, but perhaps it’d go nicely with something with a hint of sweetness to it.

Raicilla is is a distilled Agave spirit similar to Tequila and Mezcal. This bottling from Mezonte is a Raicilla made using the Amarillo Agave plant. It was produced by Hildegardo "Japo" Joya in Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco. Japo was at least 87 years old when this Raicilla was distilled in 2020. 46.5%.
Mezonte is a non-profit organization built to support traditional agave spirit production in Mexico. The organization works to ensure that the people that produce the spirit get a more substantial share of what is made from each bottle. Menzonte's goal is to work with the producers, helping them invest in the agriculture and technology needed to make future production sustainable.
From The Menzonte Website
"Hildegardo Joya, better known as “Japo” is one of the oldest producers in the west of Jalisco. He is possibly one of the last producers of his generation that continues to work and make the most traditional raicilla in all of Cabo Corrientes.
Japo grows only 3 types of maguey in his mezcalera: Cenizo, Verde, and the most commonly used: Amarillo. These can take from 8 to 35 years to mature.
At 87 years old, he continues to go to the countryside with his machete and clean his land. An eternally jovial man who knows how to have fun without leaving aside the commitment to plant agaves each year even if he knows that he is not going to harvest them. "

A mezcal in everything but name, this is labelled as 'spirit distilled from 100% Agave'. You can read between the lines on that, though. It is made with Arroqueno Agave that is fermented in pine vats and then distilled in clay pots by Mezcalerro Tio Pedro Hernandez Arrellanes. It is bottled in very small batches.
From The Producer
"Tío Pedro Hernandez Arrellanes has been making spirits for more than 50 years in Santa Catarina Minas, where nearly every palenque in town preserves the ancestral tradition of distilling in clay pots crafted in the village of Santa Maria Atzompa. With the help of his nephew Lalo, Tío Pedro produced this batch of Arroqueño at his palenque, La Esperanza. Tío Pedro's batch sizes are often relatively small due to the capacity of his production methods. This particular spirit exudes boldness as soon as it is opened and presents a pleasant honeyed sweetness on the palate."

This is an easy drinking, but complex spirit. There’s not much information to be found on this particular bottling, but it’s possible it’s Imported spirit, bottled for the Alberta market specifically. This soft, smoky, joven Espadin is a crisp and clean mezcal and is more well rounded and elegant than the Bruxo, with more earth-like notes along with slightly more tropical fruit.
