Cinco Sentidos Cuascomite
Pedro Garcia's Chilapa papalote through clay – a Guerrero pickup at 48.9%
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: 5 Sentidos
- Maestro: Pedro Garcia Patricio
- Region: Chilapa de Álvarez, Guerrero
- Agave: Papalote
- ABV: 48.9%
- Price: $70 ($)
Verdict
Four consensus reviews at 3.8 tracks with our 3.5 read. Pedro Garcia Patricio's work is legitimate, but the clay choice with papalote trades something essential, papalote's aromatic lift benefits from copper's cleaner extraction. If you want Guerrero papalote, reach for the Vicenzio Miranda or Benigno Sánchez versions in the same catalog. Compared with those, this is warmer and less lifted.
Clay on papalote is unusual; here the trade is texture for aromatic reach
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave with wet earth, faint pepper
Palate: Chilapa's papalote runs slightly heavier than the Ahuacuotzingo or Xochipala versions; at 48.9% through clay, Garcia's release has weight but doesn't quite open the florals as fully as the copper rigs do for Guerrero papalote
Finish: Warm, herbal
The bottom line
Pass for Miranda's or Sánchez's Guerrero papalote
