Crafted from wild Tobala agave in the highlands of Puebla, Fosforo Tobala Mezcal is a crystal-clear expression of one of Mexico's most prized agave varieties. Master Distiller Aaron Alva Sanchez brings generations of tradition to every bottle, producing a mezcal that is as soulful as it is refined.


Sourced from 100% Tobala agave grown in San Nicolas Huajuapan, Puebla, this unaged mezcal follows a time-honored process: agave hearts are roasted in underground pit ovens for five to eight days, then fermented naturally for up to two weeks before being double distilled into a spirit of exceptional clarity and depth.


  • Nose: Fresh and inviting, with the clean, mineral-bright character of wild Tobala agave and a whisper of sweet roasted earth.
  • Palate: Rounded and generous, offering cooked agave, caramelized pineapple, and fresh herbs before giving way to a subtly smoky, silky-smooth finish with a full, satisfying mouthfeel.
  • Finish: Long and gentle, with lingering smoke and a soft herbal sweetness that fades cleanly.

Fosforo Tobala shines served neat or on a single large ice cube, allowing its complexity to open gradually. When mixed, it elevates a classic Mezcal Negroni or a simple Paloma with distinctive wild-agave character.


Best enjoyed neat or lightly chilled to honor the craftsmanship behind it. Fosforo Tobala Mezcal is made from 100% Tobala agave, unaged and double distilled in San Nicolas Huajuapan, Puebla, Mexico.

Master Distiller: Aarón Alva Sánchez
Fósforo Mezcal comes from the foothills near Huehuetlán el Grande, about 90 minutes outside Puebla City. Fourth-generation master mezcalero Aarón Alva Sánchez and Mariana Hernández helped put Puebla on the mezcal map, and Aarón spent years learning to propagate Tobalá, a wild agave that is hard to farm. His plants mature for 8 to 15 years before harvest. The agave is cooked for 5 to 8 days in underground pit ovens, fermented with wild yeast in wooden tinas and distilled twice in a copper pot still. Founder Lisa Detwiler fell for mezcal on a trip to San Miguel de Allende.

Map of Puebla, Mexico, with San Nicolás Huajuapan marked

San Nicolás Huajuapan is a farming village of about 450 people in the municipality of Huehuetlán el Grande, about 90 minutes from Puebla City. It sits at about 1,680 meters among dry hills and high mesas, with a semi-arid climate and most of its rain falling in late summer. Puebla is part of the mezcal denomination of origin, and agaves such as Tobalá, which can take eight to fifteen years to mature, are grown here and roasted in underground pit ovens.
