Score: 3.0/5 agaves

Dos Jaimes Joven bottle

  • Region: Oaxaca

  • ABV: 48%
  • Price: $70 ($$)

Verdict

Three-agave ensambles fail more often than two-agave ones because the composition has one more voice to keep audible. Dos Jaimes at 48% is the proof the ambition needs – tepextate and tobalá share aromatic space comfortably, espadín provides the structural spine. Buy it as a working three-agave ensamble at mid-tier prices; it earns the format without overreaching.

A working commercial ensamble at proof serious enough to hold the composition together

Tasting notes

Nose: Wildflower, then cooked agave, warm stone, a faint floral high note and dried-herb underneath

Palate: Medium-dense at 48%. The three agaves (espadín, tepextate, tobalá) find a shared floral-mineral register – the espadín providing the structural spine, the tepextate and tobalá sharing the aromatic space

Finish: Drying, with a slow floral fade. Long

The bottom line

Fine as a three-agave reference at the mid-tier
