Gusto Historico Bicuixe - Vazquez
Juan Vázquez bicuishe at 45.9% – quiet, precise, deep
Score: 4.2/5 agaves

- ABV: 45.9%
- Price: $150 ($$)
Verdict
Two bicuishes, one village, both worth owning. Juan Vázquez's reads precise and quiet where the Santos reads a bit more vegetal; together they're a Miahuatlán karwinskii lesson. Buy if you're deep in the format; choose the Santos first if you have to pick one.

Tasting notes
Nose: Wet stone with cucumber skin, green herb
Palate: 45.9% in copper lets the karwinskii stay lean – Juan Vázquez keeps the bicuishe's mineral backbone and saline finish fully in focus. Cleaner than the Santos bicuishe, a touch less dense
Finish: Mineral, dry, long
The bottom line
Buy as a Santos companion
