Fidencio Tierra Blanca
Tierra Blanca – Fidencio's village-specific release at 50%, and one of the stronger bottles in the range
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Fidencio Mezcal
- Maestro: Enrique Jiménez
- Region: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
- Agave: Espadin
- ABV: 50%
- Price: $70 ($)
Verdict
Buy this if you want to hear what Tierra Blanca does differently from Matatlán – the village profile runs more mineral, and Fidencio's bottling shows it clearly, which is the kind of terroir specificity the rest of the catalog doesn't lean into often enough. A strong Fidencio and a reminder of what the producer is capable of when the village frame is allowed to speak – consensus 3.8 is earned.
Fidencio's village releases deserve more attention than the range usually gives them
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave with mineral damp, green apple
Palate: Dense at 50% – one of the stronger Fidencio releases. Village-specific production, higher proof than the Clásico, clean from front to back
Finish: Very long, drying, flinty, with a slow smoke fade
The bottom line
Worth chasing
