Verdict
Jabalí ensambles usually pair with other wild agaves to share the floral-and-oily character. Rambha's jabalí-espadín keeps the costly plant front while using espadín as structural support. At 50% both plants commit. Track it next to NETA's and Real Minero's jabalí ensamble work. Buy it.
Jabalí at 50% finally speaks; espadín gives it the room
Tasting notes
Nose: Floral jabalí – then cooked espadín, a thin green herb, faint cedar
Palate: The jabalí's floral intensity rides on top of espadín's body. 50% is exactly right, below that, jabalí wouldn't commit; above, the espadín would compete. Rambha's proof discipline is the story
Finish: Floral, clean. Stays long
The bottom line
Worth owning. Jabalí at real proof
