Memorable Arroqueno

Verdict

Memorable is a line that earns its name when the maestro is right, and Tito Pablo's arroqueño is a right one. This is the dense, chocolate-and-smoke arroqueño profile that Real Minero built its reputation on, delivered at a proof that lets the agave fill the room. Hunt it for the wild-agave shelf – this is reference work.

Tasting notes

Nose: Dark chocolate, roasted squash, sweet tobacco, a deep forest smoke

Palate: 48.3% with arroqueño's characteristic weight and depth – dense, resinous, slightly savory, the long cook of the heavy agave showing in every sip

Finish: Cacao-deep, smoky – very long

The bottom line

Worth chasing. Arroqueño at its proper weight
