La Medida Mezcal Tobasiche Chichicapam Joven
La Medida, meaning "the measure," was created by Julián Vidal Gómez Rodríguez, who has spent decades building Oaxacan mezcal from the ground up, together with maestro mezcalero Celso Luis Santiago. The brand pays its mezcaleros a salary while their agave grows and hands them an additional thirty percent of each batch's net sale price in cash. This bottling comes from maestra mezcalera Berta Vásquez in San Baltazar Chichicapam, Oaxaca, a village with a long reputation for mezcal. It's 100% Tobasiche, a form of Agave karwinskii, cooked in an earthen oven, milled with a stone tahona, fermented in open-air wooden tinas, and distilled twice in a copper pot still. Strength varies slightly from batch to batch. The importer's notes describe pea sprouts, lightly burnt toast, and the cheesy-nutty aroma of nutritional yeast, then green beans and walnut shells on the palate alongside toasted coconut, toasted cinnamon, fennel seed, and dried apricot. It leans into the vegetal side of karwinskii while Berta's fermentation and distillation give it real depth, and it's a different animal from the Miahuatlán karwinskii bottlings in the La Medida lineup.
