This Palenqueros Tobaziche is made by Rey Arellanes in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca. Palenqueros also has a Tobaziche from Juan Hernandez, which is produced in a very different style. The Tobaziche from Rey Arellanes is produced at a palenque that’s about 1,500 meters above sea level. The agaves are cooked in an underground pit oven, milled by hand with mallets, fermented with wild airborne yeasts for twelve days, and double distilled in a small clay pot still.
