Agua del Sol Coyote

Coyote from Raúl García – another strong Agua del Sol release

Score: 4.5/5 agaves

Agua del Sol Coyote bottle
  • Producer: Agua del Sol
  • Maestro: Raul Garcia
  • Region: Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
  • Agave: Coyote
  • ABV: 48%
  • Price: $70 ($$)

Verdict

A reference-adjacent coyote. Raúl García's Miahuatlán production brings a slightly different register than El Jolgorio's Lachigui-tradition coyotes, drier, more mineral, less aromatically grand, and at 48% the bottle sits among the category's serious coyote releases without pretending to be the Jolgorio benchmark. Agua del Sol's catalog keeps proving the specialty label is worth tracking. Consensus 4.3 is conservative; we push slightly higher.

Agua del Sol is the specialty label to watch
