Nayaá Cupreata - Weber
Cupreata plus tequilana at 38%, a category question mark

- Agave: Cupreata, Tequilana
- ABV: 38%
- Price: $55 ($)
Verdict
Ensembling cupreata with tequilana is already a category-blurring move, doing it at 38% makes the blur total. Nayaá's version is clean enough technically, but there's no reason the bottle needs to exist. Skip. No consensus data; we come in at that 38% is the floor for why to walk past it.
A bottle that asks the wrong question at the wrong ABV
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked sugar, faint smoke, vanilla, green apple
Palate: 38% ensamble, cupreata and tequilana fighting for the mid-palate and neither winning. Sweet, thin, without definition
Finish: Very short, sweet, clean
The bottom line
Pass. Below-floor ABV on a muddled concept
