Exiliado Jabali

Verdict

Pour Exiliado's jabalí as a starter before graduating to Rey Campero, it's competent throughout, with the weight-forward agave signature intact and the proof honest enough. Not the most distinctive bottling in the tier, but a legitimate entry point for drinkers new to jabalí's structural demands. No consensus on file; our 3.5 reflects a fair introduction, not a final destination.

Tasting notes

Nose: Hot stone, green pepper, herbal density, a faint cocoa undertone

Palate: Structured at 48.6% – jabalí's difficulty handled without strain. The proof gives the agave the structural support it needs, and Exiliado's production stays clean

Finish: Very long, drying, mineral, with a slow herbal fade

The bottom line

Fine as a jabalí category introduction
