{"product_id":"tepanal-ancestral-tobala-mezcal","title":"Tepanal Ancestral Tobalá Mezcal","description":"\u003cp\u003eTepanal is the clay-pot mezcal of Rafael García Aragón, a mezcalero in Santa María Sola de Vega, the Oaxacan district that made clay-pot distillation famous. The brand launched in 2020 with his son Jair and partner Antonio Avendaño, and the name comes from Tepanaltepec, \"hill of honeycombs,\" for the honey once harvested in these hills. The process is old-school throughout: agave roasted in an earthen pit, fermented five to seven days in cypress tanks with wild airborne yeast, and double distilled in small clay pots. Tobalá (Agave potatorum) is the small, wild agave that grows in rocky highland shade and yields a fraction of what an espadín does, which is why it's one of the most sought-after mezcals made. It's known for a floral, fruit-forward, almost delicate character, and clay-pot distillation adds a mineral, earthy frame around it. Bottled at 48% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Tepanal Ancestral Tobalá Mezcal online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50457165168896,"sku":"C0010320L","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/TepanalTobala.jpg?v=1790371987","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/tepanal-ancestral-tobala-mezcal","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
