Verdict
A reliable Caminitos wild release. The standard-proof tepextate at 47.2% is the accessible-tier Caminitos, same producer as the high-proof specialist bottles, but at a proof where drinkers new to the range can calibrate without meeting the specialist cut-off first. Tepextate at 47% is the agave's appropriate proof range, and the maestro's production stays clean. No consensus; reading at 4. A solid wild-agave entry.
