Perro Verde Mezcal Tobasiche is the bottle that started everything for the brand — the expression the founders describe as their “first true love.” Crafted from rare wild Tobasiche agave that takes approximately 17 years to mature, this mezcal captures the smoothness, complexity, and rarity that helped define Perro Verde’s identity from the very beginning. Produced in Oaxaca using traditional artisanal methods passed down through generations, it delivers a mezcal experience that feels deeply authentic while remaining remarkably refined.

Rich, smoky, and spicy on the nose with subtle salty and tropical undertones, the profile evolves beautifully across the palate with delicate fruit character and an attractive charred oily texture that lingers into an exceptionally long finish. Unlike aggressively smoky mezcals that overpower the palate, Perro Verde focuses on balance and smoothness, allowing the wild agave’s natural complexity to shine through sip after sip.

Every bottle is produced in small batches using traditional pit oven roasting with volcanic rocks and Huizache wood, natural fermentation in wooden casks, and distillation through copper and clay stills. No additives are used at any stage, preserving the integrity and terroir-driven character of the agave itself. The result is a luxurious mezcal built for serious enthusiasts, collectors, and drinkers looking to experience one of Oaxaca’s rarer agave varieties in a polished, approachable form.
