Verdict
Masparillo holds its own next to the verde flagship without trying to compete on the same register – the high proof suits the agave's dry-grass profile, and San Nicolás palenque is doing Durango category-vocabulary work at caliber. Buy it alongside the verde; Burrito Fiestero's range rewards breadth-reading more than single-bottle pursuit.
Masparillo is a vocabulary agave worth learning alongside verde
Tasting notes
Nose: Warm earth – then pine, dry herb
Palate: Lean and mineral at 50.2%. Masparillo is a Durango agave vocabulary word that the state's specialty producers are just starting to bottle regularly
Finish: Cooling, drying, with a slow pine fade. Stays very long
The bottom line
A category-broadening Durango
