5 Sentidos (Alberto Martinez) Tobala Oaxaca, Mexico Maison Stephan but most were planted afterAlberto Martinez distills his Tobala during La Canicula, the brief couple weeks when it does not rain in the middle of the rainy season. Their traditional palenque is 7500 feet above sea level, leading to temperatures too low at night to ferment without a stabilizer. Alberto solves this problem by adding ground local tree bark to the mash, adding nitrogen which acts as an organic stabilizer. PRODUCTION NOTES Distiller: Alberto Martinez Region: Santa
