Koch Mexicano
Koch mexicano from Ejutla – solid, mid-weight
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Koch Mezcal
- Maestro: Adrian Bautista, Lucio Bautista
- Region: Rio de Ejutla, Oaxaca
- Agave: Mexicano
- ABV: 47%
- Price: $127 ($$$)
Verdict
The Bautista family's mexicano for Koch is a more substantial reading of the agave than the lighter-than-espadín pitch the varietal often gets sold on. At 47% and from Río de Ejutla, it has real body and aromatic presence. Buy alongside the Gusto Histórico Verde Mexicano for a two-house mexicano education. Koch at its more serious end.
Mexicano done with real weight, not marketing lightness
Tasting notes
Nose: Roasted pepper, then cooked agave, light cacao, dry pepper
Palate: 47% – Adrian and Lucio Bautista's mexicano release reads denser than many mexicanos on the market, with real savory weight and a clean finish
Finish: Warm, savory – medium-long
The bottom line
Real body at 47%, from Ejutla. Serious mexicano at a reasonable tier
