Verdict

A solid Chacolo brocha. Brocha is a Jalisco vocabulary word – a heritage variety Chacolo bottles single-variety to give drinkers direct access before tasting it in ensambles. At 48.3% the agave's lean, structural character reads cleanly. Chacolo's project is systematically extending the US mezcal conversation into Jalisco's agave diversity, and each brocha, lineño, presa grande, and azul telcruz release is part of that argument. Consensus matches. A category-broadening pick.
