Gozona Jabali

Verdict

Refrescador plus 50% is jabalí done right. Gozona's reading sits alongside Real Minero and Geü Beez for the agave, different texture, same seriousness. Sergio Juarez Patricio doesn't let the convallis fall thin, which is how most jabalí bottles die. Buy if you already know what jabalí should taste like.

Tasting notes

Nose: Lemon peel, then dried mint, cooked agave, pine resin

Palate: ~50% and refrescador distillation, the two things jabalí needs to actually show itself. The convallis acidity meets an unusual weight; the aromatics stay electric without the spirit drying out

Finish: Long, nervous, warming

The bottom line

Buy. A jabalí for people who know
