It's time for tequila titans! A smoky pilgrimage awaits us tonight, beyond the familiar fields of agave to discover mezcal's mysterious allure. This is more than a trip into mass-produced territories - it's a journey into Oaxaca's heart with the Tres Tiempos Tobala, a Bottle Barn exclusive that will ignite your senses and transport you.

Why mezcal, you might ponder? Well, it's more than just a spirit cloaked in smoke and mystique. Mezcal boasts a rich tapestry woven with centuries of Mexican tradition from agave plant, each sip whispering tales of artisanal expertise and ancient wisdom. Crafted from various agave plant varieties, traditionally cooked in underground pit ovens, it beckons adventurous spirits seeking authenticity and depth beyond the ordinary. Spark your own mezcal adventure – buy Tres Tiempos Tobala online and unlock a world of smoky tradition, straight from Bottle Barn, your trusted liquor store in California.

This exclusive expression isn't just any mezcal; it's a testament to dedication and heritage. Its soul lies in the revered Tobala agave, a wild varietal prized for its slow growth and intense, earthy flavors. Each heart, hand-selected at peak maturity, embarks on a pilgrimage to the village of San Luis del Rio, where maestro mezcalero Don Eduardo Feria orchestrates its transformation. 

Imagine a symphony of smoke and tradition. The agaves are roasted in a centuries-old stone palenque, fueled by burning wood, infusing the spirit with an unparalleled smoky complexity in oak barrels. But the magic doesn't end there. After a traditional tahona grind, the agave fibers ferment in open-air wooden vats, their dance with indigenous yeasts adding an unpredictable, organic character. Finally, double distillation in copper pot stills concentrates the smoky flavor, resulting in a mezcal that sings with time-honored techniques and artisanal mastery. Can't wait to explore?

Sweet notes of ripe pineapple, lime and mango emerge, their tropical vibrancy perfectly balanced by earthy tones of dark chocolate and roasted coffee.
