Dainzu Espadin

Verdict

Dainzu's espadín from Leoncio and Octavia Santiago Hernandez is made by people who know what they're doing, but the label won't tell you at what strength. Skip in favor of Cuish espadín at 48%, where the same workman category lives under a more transparent importer. Proof silence is the producer's choice; your shelf money is yours.

Tasting notes

Nose: Cooked agave with a light smoke, a faint floral note

Palate: Without a disclosed ABV the profile stays guarded – the agave reads clean and unassertive, suggesting commercial proof

Finish: Short-medium, clean

The bottom line

Skip. Pay for disclosure elsewhere
