Verdict

This is the bottle where three of Ranulfo García Pacheco's technique choices align – capón pre-harvest, refrescador distillation, madrecuishe base. One reviewer at 4.5; we match. A spec-lover's madrecuishe and one of the clearest documents of what the refrescador can do at the top of the catalog. Price aside, this is a buy.

Capón plus refrescador plus madrecuishe – a technique stack that pays

Tasting notes

Nose: Concentrated wet stone, dry citrus, wildflower, cool menthol

Palate: 48.7% capón madrecuishe in the refrescador – capón treatment concentrates the agave, refrescador cleans the distillate, and madrecuishe is already the most elegant karwinskii. A triple combination

Finish: Mineral, cool-drying – very long

The bottom line

The 4.5 is earned. The techniques stack and the bottle shows it
