Verdict
A strong Comunidad coyote. Sola de Vega coyote is rarer than Lachigui coyote – El Jolgorio's coyote bottlings dominate the US specialty conversation from the Lachigui side, and Comunidad No. 2 from El Lazo at 52.69% gives drinkers access to the Sola de Vega regional profile of the same rare agave. Side-by-side tasting across the two village traditions is a category education. The community agrees. A category-broadening pick.
