Verdict
A credible heirloom release. Presa grande is another heritage Jalisco variety that Chacolo bottles single-variety, giving drinkers direct access to a vocabulary word that most specialty-importers don't stock. At 48.1% the agave's structural character reads clean, and Chacolo's house style adds the pine-earth register that ties the range together. Every Chacolo bottle is a Jalisco agave lesson. Consensus matches. A category vocabulary bottle.
