Verdict
Del Maguey's tobaziche is the middle of the category, softer than Mal Bien's austerity, less ambitious than Rey Campero's best. Which is the whole point: not every bottle needs to argue. A legible, consistent tobaziche from the range's most reliable village rotation. For drinkers who want to know what tobaziche tastes like without making a commitment.
An approachable tobaziche with real producer behind it
