Verdict
A strong Minas tobaziche. Clay-still tobaziche is rarer than copper-still – most tobaziche bottlings come from producers whose main distillation is copper, and the clay-still textural weight is a distinct format. Comunidad No. 10 from Santa Catarina Minas at 51.9% delivers the agave's lean vegetal spine with Minas density underneath. No consensus; our score lands at 4.
