Verdict

BEÚ's Blood Moon is Santo Domingo Albarradas pechuga at 49% – enough proof that the fruit-protein-spice recipe gets real structural room instead of sitting on the surface. Santo Domingo runs denser and more mineral than the Matatlán pechugas most drinkers learn the format on, which makes the regional distinction legible. A credible pechuga from the producer's specialty tier; buy the Blood Moon before the New Moon if you're picking one.

BEÚ's Blood Moon is a respectable pechuga
