Caballito Cerrero Chato
Heirloom chato at 46-50% – the entry chato, and a step on the ladder up to the Unicorn tier
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Caballito Cerrero
- Region: Amatitan, Jalisco
- Agave: Chato
- ABV: 46%
- Price: $99 ($$$)
Verdict
A chato at standard proof for drinkers not ready to commit to the Unicorn flagship – the heirloom Jalisco project's discipline stays consistent regardless of proof tier. Buy it as the stepping stone to the Unicorn Chato; chato itself is rare enough that any caliber version is worth owning, and this is the one that lets you learn the variety without needing a specialist's palate first.
Chato at standard proof is the entry to the Unicorn tier
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave, mineral damp, warm stone, citrus peel and a faint floral undertone
Palate: Dense at 46-50% – chato's specific character legible without the concentration of the Unicorn tier
Finish: Drying, cooling, with a slow slate-tinged fade
The bottom line
Climb to the Unicorn Chato if you can
