Verdict

The appeal here is pedagogical: if you want to know what tobaziche tastes like without paying Rey Campero money, this is a legitimate introduction. It's not the deepest expression you'll find, but it's recognizable and correct.

Tobaziche is a vocabulary word, and this bottle teaches it

Tasting notes

Nose: Green pepper, damp earth, faint campfire

Palate: Lean and herbal, with the tobaziche's characteristic vegetal lift and a tight 47% frame

Finish: Drying, a late hit of mint. Medium

The bottom line

A solid study-bottle for the agave
