Gusto Historico Espadin / Bicuixe

Victor Ramos espadín/bicuishe – refrescador ensamble at 49.2%

Score: 3.8/5 agaves

Gusto Historico Espadin / Bicuixe bottle
  • Producer: Gusto Histórico
  • Maestro: Victor Ramos
  • Region: Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
  • Agave: Bicuishe, Espadin
  • ABV: 49.2%
  • Price: $70 ($$)

Verdict

A well-made ensamble that doesn't match Ramos's single-agave peak. Buy if you're completing a Gusto Histórico Victor Ramos set; reach for his arroqueño or coyote first if you're picking only one.

Tasting notes

Nose: Cooked agave with wet stone, light floral

Palate: Refrescador gives the ensamble weight; 49.2% holds both components up. Less distinctive than Ramos's single-agave releases, but a cleanly executed karwinskii-espadín pair

Finish: Clean, mineral

The bottom line

Buy after the single-agave Ramos bottles
