Gusto Historico Mexicano, Bicuixe, y Tobaxiche Amarillo
Mexicano, bicuishe, tobaxiche amarillo – Juan Garcia's three-agave karwinskii-heavy ensamble
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Gusto Histórico
- Maestro: Juan Garcia
- Region: Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
- Agave: Bicuishe, Mexicano, Tobaxiche Amarillo
- ABV: 49.8%
- Price: $155 ($$)
Verdict
A karwinskii-heavy ensamble with mexicano stiffening the frame. Juan Garcia's reads precise and a little austere; an ensamble for drinkers who already read karwinskii fluently. Buy if you've already worked through the Ramos and Santos bottles above.

Tasting notes
Nose: Wet stone up front. Cut grass, citrus peel, light cooked agave underneath
Palate: 49.8% refrescador; the karwinskii pair (bicuishe + tobaxiche amarillo) dominates, with the rhodacantha mexicano lending a savory counterweight
Finish: Mineral, dry. Stays long
The bottom line
The pick for the karwinskii specialist
