Verdict

Commit. Luneta's alto from Elías García Soto is the bottle that argues for Michoacán as a serious agave-spirit region on equal footing with Oaxaca. At 52% the inaequidens is fully audible, and García Soto's production discipline – the same hand visible on the Lucero release, translates into a bottle that deserves benchmark-level attention. Think of it next to Cuentacuentos' best Michoacán work; Luneta is the peer, not the alternative. Buy and cellar.

Michoacán inaequidens at the producer's full register

Tasting notes

Nose: Wild herb. Then cool stone, pine resin, a bright mineral lift

Palate: 52% is the proof inaequidens needs to land fully, and Luneta has delivered it. The Michoacán altitude reads with uncommon clarity – every aromatic component has its own space, nothing is blurred. García Soto's hand is unmistakable

Finish: Cooling, herbal – very long

The bottom line

Reference-caliber Michoacán. Commit
