High in the rugged Sierra Norte of northern Oaxaca state, near the tiny pueblo of San Cristóbal Lachiroag, cousins Edgar and Elisandro Gonzales, the maestros behind Mezcal Tosba, have created a beautiful rhum agricole from local high-mountain sugar cane, using traditional hand methods developed for mezcal. DAKABEND is a superb and supremely artisanal distilled spirit.
