5 Sentidos Chapumel con Papalome

Verdict

One of the quieter 5 Sentidos releases, worth seeking out. Chapumel and papalome are both rare regional agaves; pairing them in one bottle is an ensamble bet few producers would make, and at 47.6% 5 Sentidos's blending judgment delivers a composition where both agaves retain their register. The release is less flashy than the range's reference bottles but rewards attention from drinkers who've built vocabulary on the single-agave catalog. Reviewer consensus aligns. A distinctive ensamble from a reference producer.
