Verdict

A four-wild ensamble at 51% ABV is one of the more demanding formats in the category, too many voices at too high a proof, and the bottle turns chaotic. Emanuel Ramos keeps this one structured, which is why he's one of the Mezcalosfera catalog's trusted names. Hunt for the high-proof wild-agave flight.

Four wilds at 51% is the high-wire act. Ramos doesn't fall

Tasting notes

Nose: Wildflower with green herb, mineral dust, a high floral top

Palate: 51.12% with four wild agaves in careful conversation, karwinskii trio holding the floor, tepextate painting the ceiling, no one agave overpowering the others

Finish: Mineral, persistent. Very long

The bottom line

Worth chasing. Four-wild ensamble at serious proof
