The brand's namesake, from Francisco García León
Score: 4.0/5 agaves

Verdict
When a brand names itself after an agave, the namesake bottle has to perform, and this one does. Francisco García León's Miahuatlán cuish is lean, aromatic, and honestly proofed. Reach for it over Vago's karwinskii line if you want a more austere expression. The brand built its identity on this bottle and the bottle keeps paying off.
