Verdict
Three-agave ensambles work when each voice has a structural job, not a flavor cameo. Tepextate brings the aromatic, bicuishe brings density, espadín brings spine – each agave answers a different question, and at 50.9% all three get room to answer. NETA's single-maestro transparency means you can trust the blending was a decision, not an accident.
Tepextate-bicuishe-espadín is a natural pairing
Tasting notes

The bottom line
A reference-adjacent NETA
