Rey Campero Tobala

Rey Campero Tobala is made from tobala, usually identified botanically as Agave potatorum. Tobala is much smaller than espadin, so bottles are often more expensive and produced in smaller batches.

Rey Campero is an Oaxacan mezcal brand associated with Candelaria Yegole in Oaxaca. The brand is known for traditional production methods and single-agave expressions such as Espadin, Tepextate, Jabali, and Tobala.

Tobala often shows a more aromatic, mineral, and tropical-fruit profile than many espadin mezcals. Rey Campero's Tobala is usually bought by drinkers who already know mezcal and want a more distinctive agave character.

It can work in a simple mezcal cocktail, but many people sip it neat because tobala bottles are limited and costly. For a mezcal margarita or paloma, Rey Campero Espadin is usually the more practical choice.
