Rancho Viejo mexicano at 47.1% – Sola de Vega again

Producer: Comunidad
Maestro: Gabino Ramirez
Region: Sola de Vega, Oaxaca
Agave: Mexicano
ABV: 47.1%
Price: $150 ($$)

Verdict

Comunidad's village granularity pays off when drinkers can track a specific agave across multiple villages, mexicano from Rancho Viejo reads distinctly from mexicano from Amatengo or Chichicapam, and the producer is one of the only importers bottling the comparison deliberately. Buy it alongside the Amatengo if you want to hear Sola de Vega's regional accent without the noise of producer-style variation.

Comunidad's village granularity pays off
