Tobaziche at 47% – Exiliado's wild-agave entry at respectable proof
Score: 3.5/5 agaves

- Region: San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca
- Agave: Tobaziche
- ABV: 47%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
Pour this as a reasonable tobaziche reference before you reach for Rey Campero's version – Exiliado earns its category placement with clean karwinskii vegetal structure and appropriate proof. A credible mid-tier bottle at sensible money, and a fair introduction to the agave if top-tier pricing isn't in the budget tonight. Consensus 3.5 matches; the shelf math is honest.
A respectable commercial tobaziche at the mid-tier
Tasting notes
Nose: Green pepper, dry hay, warm earth
Palate: Lean. At 47%, the tobaziche signature is intact without being distinctive. Proof is correct for the agave, the producer's production is clean, and the bottle plays as a competent mid-tier karwinskii without arguing for more than the price tier promises
Finish: Cooling, drying, with a slow green-herb fade – very long
The bottom line
Fine as a tobaziche category introduction
