Verdict
Cachetón is a less-commercial maguey and a Rayo Seco signature. At 51% the plant commits its full character – round body, mineral spine, unusual rather than exotic. Track it alongside other Rayo Seco single-maguey work. A fair regional entry.
Cachetón drinks the way it's named – broad, unhurried
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave, dry earth
Palate: Wide-palate, structured, distinct. Cachetón means 'big-cheeked' and the agave drinks like its name – broad, rounded body with mineral spine. 51% gives it room. Rayo Seco's house style (clean, full-proof, unfussed) works
Finish: Earth, warm
The bottom line
Buy it. Rayo Seco at work
