Lalocura Tobala Orejon Mezcal 750ml is a rare gem in the world of artisanal spirits, handcrafted with passion and precision in the heart of Oaxaca. This mezcal is a true reflection of the rich tradition and deep-rooted cultural heritage that defines the region. Available exclusively at El Cerrito Liquor, it offers a one-of-a-kind experience for those who appreciate the artistry of fine spirits.
Crafted by the renowned mezcalero Eduardo “Lalo” Angeles, Lalocura Tobala Orejon is made from the wild-harvested Tobala agave, a small and resilient variety known for its intense flavors and complexity. The agaves are carefully selected and harvested at peak maturity, ensuring that each plant imparts its unique character to the mezcal. The process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, involving the slow roasting of agave hearts in traditional earthen pits, followed by natural fermentation and double distillation in small copper stills.
The result is a mezcal that captivates the senses from the first pour. The nose is a captivating blend of floral and herbal aromas, with a delicate smokiness that hints at the artisanal production process. Notes of citrus, green apple, and fresh herbs mingle with a subtle earthiness, creating an aromatic profile that is both complex and inviting.
On the palate, Lalocura Tobala Orejon Mezcal delivers an explosion of flavors that unfold with each sip. The initial taste is bright and lively, with a crisp acidity that enhances the natural sweetness of the Tobala agave. As the mezcal opens up, layers of citrus, tropical fruit, and a hint of spice emerge, balanced by a gentle smokiness that lingers on the finish. The texture is smooth and silky, with a long, satisfying aftertaste that leaves a lasting impression.
Lalocura Tobala Orejon is not just a mezcal; it’s a testament to the dedication and expertise of Lalo Angeles and the traditions that have been passed down through generations. The bottle itself is a work of art, reflecting the rustic elegance and authenticity of the spirit within.

One of the most notable characteristics of mezcal is its smoky aroma and flavor, derived from the unique production process. Agave hearts, known as piñas, are roasted in underground pits lined with volcanic rocks, imparting a distinct smokiness to the final product. This artisanal approach to production sets mezcal apart from other spirits and contributes to its allure among connoisseurs.
Mezcal offers a diverse range of flavor profiles, influenced by factors such as the variety of agave used, the region of production, and the expertise of the mezcalero, or master distiller. Tasting notes may include hints of earthiness, fruitiness, and spice, alongside the signature smoky undertones.
Beyond its flavor, mezcal holds cultural significance in Mexican tradition, often playing a central role in celebrations and rituals. Its deep-rooted connections to indigenous communities and artisanal production methods contribute to its status as a symbol of Mexican identity and craftsmanship.
In recent years, mezcal has gained popularity on the international stage, attracting attention for its authenticity and complexity. As interest in craft spirits continues to grow, mezcal stands out as a spirit steeped in tradition yet embraced by modern enthusiasts seeking unique and flavorful drinking experiences.
