Miahuatlán arroqueño in refrescador – Victor Ramos in full voice
Score: 4.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Gusto Histórico

- ABV: 49.2%
- Price: $100 ($$$)
Verdict
Victor Ramos keeps making the case that Miahuatlán is mezcal's most under-celebrated address. This arroqueño goes toe-to-toe with Gozona's and Real Minero's at the same agave, refrescador texture, 49.2% proof, nothing hedged.

Tasting notes
Nose: Dark cocoa, then baked earth, dried fig, leather, black pepper
Palate: Refrescador distillation at 49.2% – the arroqueño's cocoa-americana register with an oil and weight copper can't match. Dense, savory, a touch feral
Finish: Earthen, warming. Very long
The bottom line
Refrescador arroqueño, make room for it
