Morales's jabalí at 47% – just under the proof the agave wants
Score: 3.5/5 agaves

- ABV: 47%
- Price: $65 ($$)
Verdict
Jabalí rewards every extra degree of proof, and Noble Fuego's 47% reading is a hair under where the Noble Coyote or NETA versions land. The bottle is serious – Morales handles the agave well – but the proof decision is one of those negotiated-spec choices you can taste. No consensus data; we land at mid-tier credible.
47% jabalí is just enough. 48% would have been better
Tasting notes
Nose: Wild herb, warm musk, dry citrus, light pepper
Palate: 47% jabalí – near the proof floor the agave demands, with Morales's clean hand keeping the wild-funk register from running away
Finish: Herbal, drying – long
The bottom line
Buy if Noble Coyote's is out; else not
