87 reviewsIf you are in Chicago, go to La Josie or to Moreno’s to get a hold of this. Such a great bottle! I think they also sent part of this batch elsewhere, as it’s available on Madre’s website based in Cali. But this is an incredible clay pot ensamble that takes the flavor profile of the jabali-tobala that is so highly reviewed and throws in the Sierra negra that is also so highly reviewed. A perfect collaboration of these three. The funk of the sierra negra with the soapy, sour jabali, followed by the sweetness and fruitiness of the tobala. I really burned through this bottle quickly on a staycation and only have about 4 oz left.
