Verdict
Jabalí trips up even seasoned maestros, the low yields tempt shortcuts, and the distillation demands finesse. Victor Ramos delivers it cleanly here, paired with espadín for a weight anchor, at a proof that lets the jabalí character stay on the palate. This is wild-ensamble work in the Mezcalero No. 27 league.
Jabalí is low-yield and hard to distill. Ramos treats it like a privilege
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave, wildflower, green pepper, a faint creamy top
Palate: 47.71% with espadín providing the weight and jabalí adding a round, almost creamy aromatic lift, the notoriously difficult wild agave handled without collapse
Finish: Aromatic, mineral. Long
The bottom line
Worth chasing. Jabalí handled with respect
