Born from a rare and wild agave, Tres Tribus Mezcal Tobala is a spirit that commands attention. Sourced from tobala plants averaging a full decade of growth in San Francisco Nuexano, Oaxaca, this is mezcal at its most expressive and unhurried.


Under the care of Master Distiller Juan Antonio Coronel and produced under NOM 663, this tobala mezcal follows traditional Oaxacan methods that honor the agave's long journey to maturity. The tobala variety is prized among mezcal lovers for its smaller size, higher sugar concentration, and the complexity that only years in the wild can produce.


  • Nose: Inviting and aromatic, with the hallmark wild character of tobala agave.
  • Palate: Cooked pineapple, figs, quince, cacao, and jasmine unfold in layers that are at once rich and delicate.
  • Finish: Lingering and smooth, carrying the fruit and floral warmth of the palate through to a refined close.

Tres Tribus Tobala is a natural fit for a Mezcal Negroni, where its fruit-forward depth plays beautifully against bitter and sweet elements, or enjoy it in a simple Mezcal Sour to let the jasmine and cacao notes shine.


Best served neat or with a single ice cube to let the complexity open up. A tobala mezcal from San Francisco Nuexano, Oaxaca, crafted for those who appreciate something truly rare.

Master Distiller: Juan Antonio Coronel
Tres Tribus is made by fifth-generation maestro mezcalero Juan Antonio Coronel at his family palenque in San Francisco Nuxaño, in the Mixteca mountains of Oaxaca. Wild agave foraged from the surrounding pine forests is cooked for up to a week in an underground conical oven with volcanic stone and encino oak. It ferments with wild local yeast in underground amphoras, using water from the nearby Tidaá volcano aquifer. Coronel, a trained chemical engineer, double distills in a copper still he designed and built himself. The name honors the three tribes that first settled the region.

Map of Oaxaca, Mexico, with San Francisco Nuxaño marked

San Francisco Nuxaño is a small mountain municipality of a few hundred people in the Nochixtlán district, in Oaxaca's Mixteca Alta northwest of Oaxaca City. The land here is high, with pine forest on the slopes, a long way from the mezcal valleys around Matatlán. Wild agaves such as Tobalá and Cuishe are foraged from these forests and roasted slowly in underground conical ovens lined with volcanic stone.
