Verdict
A clean BEÚ ensamble. Tobalá-cuishe is a natural two-agave pairing, the tobalá brings floral aromatics, the cuishe adds karwinskii mineral weight, and at 46% the proof lands for both agaves. BEÚ's production discipline keeps the composition clean without over-engineering. The Crescent Moon label is marketing; the mezcal is a straightforward, well-composed ensamble. No consensus; reading at 3.5. Solid.
Tobalá-cuishe is a natural pairing
