Creador Mexicano
Mexicano at 49.2% – Creador's reference work
Score: 4.0/5 agaves

- Region: San Bernardo Mixtepec, Oaxaca
- Agave: Mexicano
- ABV: 49.2%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
A strong mexicano. Creador is a quieter Mixtepec, Oaxaca producer whose range keeps demonstrating depth at specialty-importer caliber. The mexicano at 49.2% delivers the agave's vegetal-mineral character with production discipline visible in every decision. Mixtepec production runs slightly different from Miahuatlán's – cleaner, more angular – and Creador's hand preserves that distinction.
Creador is a quieter Mixtepec producer worth tracking
