Sababa Mezcal Artesanal is produced in Oaxaca, Mexico, by Maestro Mezcalero Francisco de los Ángeles. It is made from Agave Angustifolia sourced from multiple regions of Oaxaca, including Matatlán, Santa Ana Del Río, San Juan Del Río and Reforma Yautepec. Bottled at 45% ABV, the mezcal is priced around $109.
At the end of the day, I have mixed feelings about Sababa Mezcal. Although I feel excited to enjoy this mezcal in many more cocktails, I also think that any bottle whose price approaches the hundred dollar mark should be judged with higher expectations than something in the neighborhood of $30-50 – which is the price range of mezcals we’ve reviewed so far on the blog.
